The basic difference between an ILEC and a CLEC is that an ILEC has a duty to provide a telephone service to the public whereas a CLEC has the right to compete for that business, but is not obliged to provide the same level of service.

All LECs must abide by the FCC regulations that affect that class of carrier; the regulations affecting ILECs are slightly different than the regulations affecting CLECs. Sometimes the FCC will change the status of a CLEC to an ILEC if it serves the best interests of the public.

An example would be if the CLEC exists in an area of the country that is inadequately served by existing ILECs.
