A CLEC is a telephone company regulated by the same rules and regulations as the local operating company presently serving the community. It is a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier in competition with the ILEC or Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (usually the Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) or other Independent Telephone Company such as GTE, ALLTEL etc). The CLEC offers the same type of services to its customers as previously provided by the ILEC.

The process is a long and complex procedure requiring the services of a Regulatory Attorney and/or Consultant. The first item required is to file for a CLEC license from the State Public Utilities Commission within your operational area. The PUC will require a list of service costs or Tariff Charges for each service you will provide. The easiest way to do this is to offer services at a set discount from the published ILEC list of tariff charges.

The Telecommunications Act if 1996 (Act) opened up the 100 billion dollar a year local telecommunications market. Now, almost any company that wants to offer local telecommunications services has the freedom to do so. This has created a flood of new startups entering this market. Startups are not the only ones becoming CLECs, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in record numbers to reduce their cost, expand markets, and offer new services.

As a CLEC Your Company can sell any and all the services that a local Telephone Company offers. ILEC services, Services Your Company creates or combinations of both.
