Tower Enroute Control?
Tower Enroute Control has me confused. What does the Tower have
to do with? It appears to be flight plans that use TRACONS or RAPCONS for radar services rather than going to the center. So why is it called Tower Enroute Control? In Boston Approach isn't even in the same state as the BOS tower, wouldn't it make more sense to say TRACON enroute control? Or did I miss something where the tower is involved instead. Is TEC available at any towers without radar?

Just use it as designed and don't worry about the semantics.

It appears to be flight plans that use TRACONS or RAPCONS for radar services rather than going to the center. Exactly. So why is it called Tower Enroute Control? I used to wonder why it was called anything at all.
