I suggest, if you want some very interesting reading, that you check 
into the lobbying efforts of ILECs to make sure that CLECs get the short 
end of all regulatory sticks. For instance, reciprocal payments, a 
policy designed by the RBOCs to financially burden upstart CLEC had the 
policy blow up in their faces and found the money flowing in the reverse 
direction. AT&T's answer? Just don't pay. AT&T is big enough that it 
seems to be able to thumb its nose at everyone.

Yes, "anyone can become a CLEC" but what happens after that might be 
something you will want to investigate.
