If I subscribe to call conferencing on my LD lines, is it possible to call country A and then add country B in a conference call? Is conferencing only within the same LATA or is it applicable to LD and international? Who provides it?

'Call Conferencing' a/k/a Three Way Calling is offered by your local telco. It can be used on any calls anywhere, local or long distance. There are no restrictions by LATA, etc. You dial up one call, connect, flash, dial the second call and flash again. All three parties are connected. There is a service from AT&T called 'Alliance Teleconferencing' which allows conferencing of more than two places at one time, but again, you can conference to wherever you can otherwise call, local or long distance.

In the interests of "equal time", I'd like to point out that ATT's Alliance Teleconferencing is not the only LD carrier conferencing service. Sprint has such a service, and MCI probably does too. eli
