ILECs’ “voluntary” rental of local loop to CLECs is still mandated by a “regulatory backstop.”
ILECs say a return to 1996 Telecom Act access for CLECs ignores today’s competitive landscape. They look for a gradual, transparent path to fiber, and for prices to gradually find their levels.
Competitive carriers are working to ensure that incumbents don’t lock or price them out of access to their customers, once they switch to all-IP networks.
At a time of significant change in the political makeup of our country, and the advent of a rewrite of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is endorsing the concept of technology-neutral regulation.

One analyst pointed out the FCC would still review cable-CLEC deals to determine whether they are in the public interest.
EarthLink, Cbeyond and Windstream are among a group of competitive local exchange carriers aiming to court higher-end businesses in need of information technology and communications solutions.
The competitive service provider has hired its first-ever CIO to lead the transition.
There are identifiable SIP trunking savings components that can be easily quantified, including domestic long distance, per-line cost and more.
