BackUP Telecom Consulting joined with Ionary Consulting to create a checklist and timeline designed to assist new Facilities-Based CLECs in establishing their network. While this timeline is not meant to be an all-inclusive list, it does provide new CLEC companies with the basic information needed to establish their new business. Please note as you search through these guides that all services listed in purple are provided by Mary Lou Carey at BackUP Telecom Consulting and all services listed in blue are provided by Fred Goldstein with Ionary Consulting.
