CLEC Clause Samples
The CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) clause defines the rights and obligations of a telecommunications provider that competes with incumbent local exchange carriers to offer local telephone services. This clause typically outlines the terms under which a CLEC may access network infrastructure, interconnect with other carriers, or provide services to end users, often referencing regulatory requirements and technical standards. Its core function is to ensure fair competition and interoperability in the telecommunications market, addressing issues such as access, pricing, and service quality between established and new market entrants.
