Do you or your firm hold any investments in CLECs?
No, but it is pretty clear you are bought-in to the ILEC weltanschauung.
In my view there is blame to go around: The CLECs have been incompetent opportunists, and the ILECs have been greedy and corrupt - for example, looking the other way as their unioninzed employees sabotage non-union ILECs' gear. But the ILECs are the biggest problem and biggest bribers of politicians.
