Embarq was formerly known as Sprint which was formerly known as United Telecommunications. It was never part of the Bell System. Embarq is, however, an ILEC like the RBOCs as opposed to a CLEC. ILEC=Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier and CLEC=Competitive Local Exchange Carrier. Maybe that's what you were thinking. -- Correlation does not imply causation.

Xela19115 join:2000-10-06 Richboro, PA Reviews: ·Verizon FiOS 1 edit	reply to fAcEtIOUs said by fAcEtIOUs: said by firephoto: Hey, umm, you just wiped verizon off the west coast, the south, and everywhere else except new england. Do you own qwest stock too? The map came from here. »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_B···_company If you think it has major errors, feel free to post a modified map. Well you know but Wikipedia is not exactly a "gospel". It's a volunteer effort and thus will have certain mistakes. The map does not take into account Verizon's ex-GTE properties in the South and West Coast.

They are made up of both Bell and Non-Bell assets. They had RBOC properties in the northeast and independent GTE properties scattered throughout the country. In some states (like Pennsylvania) they had both Bell (Bell Atlantic) and independent (GTE) lines. Now they are all doing business under the Verizon name. -- Correlation does not imply causation.

ieolus Support The Clecs join:2001-06-19 Duluth, GA	reply to rachelsfx said by rachelsfx: ieolus - "support the clecs" Is there any left? LOL! Well, seeing as you don't even know what an RBOC is, it is no surprise that you don't know if there are any CLECs left. If you looked in any phone book though, you would know that there are CLECs still around. Mostly they cater to small businesses though, not too much to residences. -- "Speak for yourself "Chadmaster" - lesopp
