The public CLECs: icix acsi gst icgx nxlk colty wcii artt
No view on relative attractiveness.
The near-term IPOs: elix tgnt

The Telecom Act requires the RBOCs to resell the individual components of their network, but pricing and access has been contested in the courts and remains unresolved. This has slowed down local competitive entry via resale. In the meantime, the CLECs must negotiate with the RBOCs on terms. The RBOCs won't be allowed into the long distance market until competition exists in their markets; so they're playing the game of trying to present the illusion of competition without losing significant revenues.

There are 2 types of collocation - physical and virtual; physical has its problems sometimes - limits on space at the facility for competitors' equipment; virtual means running a high speed line to the competitors' equipment elsewhere, for which they charge handsomely. CLECS, of course, prefer real collocation.

Here's a good webzine, covering lots of different issues including collocation, for those of you with interest in the industry.
