Only 43 ILEC's here...
i was under the impresssion that ILECs (incumbent local exchange carriers) were pretty much only the RBOCs (regional bell operating companies) and that CLECs (competitive local exchange carriers) were the other LECs that sprung up after 96'ish? for instance, in PA, i refer to the ILEC as verizon/BA and people like adelphia and intermedia as CLECs. this is a particular hazy defination that has always bugged me, because it seems that no matter who i'm talking to, they use ILEC and CLEC to mean different things. btw, if you one of the people that care about ILECs and CLECs and RBOCs, i'm reading a fascinating/enraging book called "the unofficial biography of the baby bells and infoscandal," by kushnik. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1893539008/ ps. big thanks to steve sobal, i've already filed your email away in my quickie reference folder. deeann m.m. mikula director of operations telerama public access internet http://www.telerama.com * 412.688.3200
