A study of incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) for beginners should cover the basics of what an ILEC is, how they differ from competitive local exchange carriers, and what type of service they provide.
An incumbent local exchange carrier is a telephone service carrier that was a local service provider at the time of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. They are usually Bell Telephone operating companies that were created after AT&T was disbanded. The Telecommunications Act give ILECs the right to offer long distance service as long as they allowed competition for local phone service. ILECS compete with these companies, called competitive local exchange carriers. To find out more about local exchange carriers:
1. Read general information about ILEC and CLEC companies;
2. Keep up with news about local exchange carriers;
3. Get an incumbent local exchange listing for your area and find out how services compare to each other.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • When doing research about incumbent and independently owned local exchange carriers in your area, be sure to find out who owns the infrastructure. In most cases, it is the incumbent local exchange carrier that owns the lines and leases them to the competitive local exchange carriers. Since they don't own the lines or equipment, CLECs often don't have much control over system outages and maintenance.
An Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier is a telephone service carrier that provided local service when the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was passed. ILECs are generally Regional Bell Operating Companies, sometimes called "Baby Bells," that were created after the break up of AT&T in the 1980s. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed the Regional Bell Operating Companies to offer long distance service in exchange for allowing competition for local phone service and DSL.
Two types of telephone companies were born: Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers, or ILECs and Competitive Local Exchange Carriers, or CLECs. Competitive Local Exchange Carriers use rack space and lines provided by the ILEC and resell the services to local customers. An ILEC company is often the default carrier and competes with CLECs for phone service and other offerings like DSL. When choosing between an ILEC or a CLEC, here is what you must do:
1. Find out who the ILEC and CLEC providers in your area are.
2. Compare the cost of services from different types of companies.
3. Evaluate service levels and customer service from both types of providers.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Find an incumbent local exchange listing
When you set up phone service and DSL, you need to find out who your local telephone service carriers are. This information can be found on your state's Public Utility Commission website.
I recommend: The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissions provides a map with links to each state's Public Utility Commission. Check your state utility commission to find out who your ILEC is. Contact the Federal Communications Commission to get information about regulations or how to file a complaint.
Get reliable service with a large ILEC carrier
Chances are, your local ILEC is a company that has been in operation for decades. Many ILECS are huge companies that operate in a large area of the country. Their experience and the fact that they own the equipment means fast, reliable service, although rates and customer service may not be as competitive.
I recommend: Some of the ILECS that operate in large regions include Verizon, Qwest and AT&T. These companies also offer competitive service in areas where they are not the ILEC, and provide additional services like high-speed Internet, wireless and satellite television.
Check out your area's competitive local exchange carrier
Depending on where your business is located, you may have a wide range of choices of CLECs that offer local service as well as long distance and high-speed Internet services. Companies include locally based, small providers and large national providers that provide services throughout the country.
I recommend: One Communications is a CLEC that provides service to the eastern parts of the United States. MetTel Inc. is a large CLEC that offers service in areas throughout the United States.

- • Keep in mind that, while competitive local exchange carriers may offer great rates, their control over system outages is limited.
The FCC and other agencies draw a distinction between local exchange carriers called Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECS) and Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs). The difference has to do with changes in the telecom industry; ILECs are carriers that existed when local exchanges were set up after the breakup of AT&T. CLECs, as newer formations, do not hold this advantage. Businesses invested or interested in the ins and outs of the telecom field will want to keep this distinction in mind when following today's dynamic industry.
For finding out about the real relationships between these two groups of owned local exchange carriers, businesses can turn to web venues with up-to-date Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) news and trends, with emphasis on the coverage of both ILECs and CLECs, that will inform a company on how it can respond to any current market reality. Readers can find:
1. News stories on ILECs and CLECs from industry magazines and journals that follow how regulations and other effects break down between the two groups.
2. Competitive and incumbent local exchange listing resources and more from independent websites covering trends in the field.
3. More on local exchange carriers from government or public web sources.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Find news on ILECs from industry insider publications
Some of the leading magazine type publications on telecom have a web presence, and readers online can get timely stories on different events happening in the ILEC and CLEC communities.
I recommend: Get news on copper retirement by ILECS and successive trends in CLECS at CED: "The Premier Magazine of Broadband Technology." Find more from sites like this one from Connections Magazine.
Look for more news from firms related to the operation of ILECs and CLECs
Some firms with an online presence post items relevant to incumbent or competitive local exchange carrier shops for the public and business leaders to read and follow up with analysis of the telecom field that will lead them toward profits when investing in a telecom project.
I recommend: Find news on what's going on with ILECs regarding VoIP initiatives and other issues at TMCNet. Readers can find more news online from Gerson Lehrman Group about the relationship between ILEC and CLEC operators.
Get more on ILECs and CLECs from other industry sites
More web venues get readers additional info on what's happening with ILEC company leadership, including issues of governance, economic feasibility, competition and much more.
I recommend: Telecom Straight Shooter probes into the relationship between ILECs and the government, including issues of leadership and economics.

In terms of today's telecom field, ILECs or Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers, are the "originals" of the industry. A closer look at ILECs will show readers how the companies went from regional providers after the AT&T breakup to individual competitors in today's market. Taking a look at some of the basic terms around ILECs will show businesses getting involved how ILECs work, how they formed and what they can provide to clients.

Baby Bells
When the government broke up AT&T in 1984, the result was what some call the 'Baby Bells.' After more recent legislation, these companies became ILECs, as distinguished from others called CLECs. The story of these regional companies plays a part in understanding what ILECs represent today.
I recommend: See more on the history of the Baby Bells at TeleTruth.
Telecommunications Act of 1996
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was the legislation that made the Regional Bell Companies into ILECs. The ILECs now compete with other types of carriers to provide all kinds of modern telecom services.
I recommend: See more about the provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 at the CyberTelecom Federal Internet Law and Policy site.
CLEC
The CLEC or Competitive Local Exchange Carrier is the challenger of the ILEC. These new companies are ones that cropped up after the previously mentioned legislation.
I recommend: Get more on the CLEC and its operation from Webopedia.
DSL
DSL or the Digital Subscriber Line is a traditional offering of ILECS that delivers high speed Internet access through fiber optic lines. DSL has been a mainstay, but is being eclipsed by other kinds of Internet bandwidth options such as VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol, where voice is provided over bandwidth, and digital voice mail is packetized and stored for remote access.
I recommend: Learn more about DSL at Superpages.
Landline telephony
Landline telephony indicates traditional fiber optic service. This is, according to experts, the main business of the ILEC. Other kinds of telecom services and digitized communications threaten to take over parts of the landline trade.
I recommend: Read more about ILECS, landline telephony and the future at NetAction.
Federal Communications Commission
The Federal Communications Commission or FCC is the federal agency that oversees ILECs and related companies. The FCC decides how different kinds of telephone exchange carriers can sell landline telephony and digital telecom services.
I recommend: Find more about the FCC at their website for figuring out what rules and regulations are applicable to certain areas of the telecom industry.
