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.

What is ILEC?

ILEC stands for Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier. It refers to the traditional telecommunications company that was established prior to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 in the United States. ILECs typically provide local telephone services and have historically held a monopoly over these services in their designated regions. They are often contrasted with competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), which emerged to provide alternatives to ILECs.
