Owing to several technological advancements in the telecommunication market, the global Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLEC) market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Various advancements such as fiber optics network, DSL, and LMDS are expected to trigger the CLEC market.
After the U.S. Government passed the Telecommunication Act of 1996, the CLEC concept has emerged in the market.
