Overview:
The CLEC industry continued its transformation during 1999, sometimes moving in unexpected directions. The most notable shift has been a movement away from the single dominant business model. Whereas in years past we saw such strategies as “smart build” and “switch and fiber deployment” take center stage, this year has shown that an entire range of strategic options remain valid.

Report Overview & Methodology

This year's CLEC Report™ is also evolving. To reflect these massive shifts shaking the industry, the CLEC Report 2000™ has expanded to 1,500 pages in two volumes. Given the fast pace of these shifts within the CLEC space, this Report will also be issued twice a year.

New Paradigm Resources Group, Inc. (NPRG) performs ongoing research on all companies that call themselves CLECs. While the number of “CLECs” has been estimated to be as high as 9,000, most of these entities have simply received some form of certification to provide local service.1 We, however, remain committed to the idea that true competition comes from facilities-based CLECs; we therefore remain focused on the research and analysis of these carriers exclusively. To the extent that a reseller makes a compelling case to us that it has a business plan as well as the requisite resources to evolve into a facilities-based CLEC, we will cover it in the Watch List chapter of the Report.
