There was a footnote on the map. Small non-RBOC companies aren't displayed to keep map simple.

Re: Too much..

Embarq is a RBOC, but serves a city here, a city there.

If in Tallahassee, Embarq is your provider.

I was unaware Embarq was considered small. Had them here in Tallahassee and in Orlando. Parents in Sopchoppy have it. I don't know where the Sprint and Bellsouth lines begin and end but it seems to me Sprint serves large sections of Florida...but I don't know that for sure.
Either way, a very interesting map.

Duluth, GA		 Embarq is not, nor ever has been, a RBOC. You kind of have to be from the Bell System to qualify as a RBOC.

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.

Embarq is a RBOC
RBOC=Regional Bell Operating Company. 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.
