ILEC is an acronym for Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers. CLEC is an acronym for Competitive local exchange carrier UNE is an acronym for unbundled network element. UNE-P was the combination of ILEC loop UNE, switching UNE, and transport UNE. ILECs report the number of UNE-L they provide to CLECs but do not convert any high-capacity UNE-L, such as
DS1 UNE loops, into voice-grade equivalents. By contrast, CLECs report the number of switched access lines their
retail customers purchase which the CLEC provisioned over UNE-L obtained from ILECs. Note, however, that a
CLEC might use UNE-L only to provide broadband Internet access connections.
