Competitive local exchange carriers want the best local loops that money can buy. There's only one problem: Incumbents aren't even sure where those lines are in their networks.

| Rating: 8.00 (1 Votes) | Hits: 376 | Bad Link

From wunderkind to problem child and now to whipping boy: The Telecommunications Act of 1996 has gone through a gamut of changes since it became law two years ago this month. This progress report on the Telecom Act of 1996 defines five key and quantifiable criteria to measure the success or failure of the Telecom Act: 1. Has the Telecom Act increased the number of competitors in local markets? 2. Has the act led to a decrease in the number of regulations that govern telecom service providers? 3. Has the level of capital investment in local telecom infrastructure increased since the passage of the act? 4. Has the job market in the telecom industry been improved since the Telecom Act became law? 5. Have service prices fallen since the passage of the Telecom Act?

| Appraising the CLEC Landscape
|

|

In much the same way a classic work of art may be appraised, the CLEC industry can be viewed as a wide variety of carriers in various colors. But analysts must take a step back to get a complete view of what's happening on the CLEC landscape.

| Divide & Conquer - Local Switching Issue Pits CLEC Against CLEC
|
| Rating: 8.00 (1 Votes) | Hits: 376 | Bad Link
|
| |
Cash hungry CLECs are turning on their own to retain control of their territories. The result could become a bloody mess.
At the center of the issue is local switching and whether it's an UNE. Some facilities-based CLECs say no. Nonfacilities-based CLECs say yes because it's a necessary element in the UNE-Platform (UNE-P). They say the ILECs must make combined UNEs--a.k.a. the UNE-P--universally available to competitive carriers or residential and small business subscribers will suffer.

| Debunking CLEC Access Charge Myths
|
| Rating: 9.00 (1 Votes) | Hits: 377 | Bad Link
|
| |
In April the FCC (www.fcc.gov) released its order on CLEC access charge reform. While this is good news, in part, for CLECs, the orders signal a dangerous FCC policy shift. To address some issues that tend to cloud the debate, five common myths about CLEC access charges are listed below:
1. CLEC access rates should equal the prevailing market rate for access services.
2. Access rates should be based on cost.
3. CLECs are monopoly providers of access services.
4. The FCC's CLEC access pricing policies are competitively neutral.
5. CLEC access tariffs are not binding.

| The Real Story on Bell Out-of-Region Competition
|
| Rating: 8.00 (1 Votes) | Hits: 375 | Bad Link
|
| |
The likelihood of the RBOCs ever really competing against each other has become so entwined with the debate over FCC policy assumptions that many opponents of those policies are ignoring or, in some cases, denying the reality of recent signs that such competition has indeed begun.

While regulators have been lowering the fees RBOCs can charge competitors to lease their network elements, the Bells seem to be generating more fuel behind their arguments that UNE-P is an unnecessary drain on their businesses.

| Dial "C" for Competition
|
| Rating: 8.00 (1 Votes) | Hits: 376 | Bad Link
|
| |
The deregulation of the vast telecommunications market has provided enormous benefits for the U.S. economy, particularly for long-distance telephone customers and Internet users. But the evolution is not complete. In many respects, the local market is still a set of monopolies. And recent moves by federal regulators may stifle even the nascent competition in that arena.
