HVN, Jimmy Dollar also mentions that IDTC has little competition. I believe that AT&T, MCI WorldCom has a different business plan than IDTC's. IDTC has been advertising their 5 cents per minute all-day long-distance Net2Phone (phone-to-phone) service on Bloomberg business radio. I'm a subscriber, and I like the service - they bill on less than 60-second increments. Using their phone card also saves me a bundle. I heard that AT&T has started some phone/net trials in a limited set of cities to insure quality. I have yet to see any phone/net service from MCI WorldCom. IDTC sold me the Net2Phone service on top in addition to changing my default long distance carrier to MCI-WorldCom from MCI (somewhat strange eh?) The don't believe that the CLECs that you mention are currently as heavily involved with phone/net business as IDTC (at least their financial statements don't indicate that they are). IDTC is de-emphasizing its ISP business which has significant competition.
