Porting my landline number

I receive the following message when I apply to port:

"You have submitted a port request for a phone number that is either a non-local phone number or you live in an area where you agreed to receive a non-local phone number."

The number I want ported is a local phone number. I never agreed to anything.

I believe HughesNet is in violation of the regulation cited above.Please explain why HughesNet is not.
