CLEC - separate legal entity per State?

When filling for CLEC status is it still common place to form a separate legal entity per State? Cheers Ryan

You can have one company for all states or one for each state. The upside of having one per state would be that it limits your liability to each state. The downside is it costs more all the way around because each CLEC would have it's own ACNA, regulatory filings, tariffs, ICAs, NPAC accounts, etc. Mary Lou Carey BackUP Telecom Consulting Marylou at backuptelecom.com Office: 615-791-9969 Cell: 615-796-1111

No I don't do the regulatory side of things, but TMI does so you could ask them. Carey Roesel croesel at tminc.com Mary Lou Carey BackUP Telecom Consulting Marylou at backuptelecom.com Office: 615-791-9969 Cell: 615-796-1111
