Prior to June 2005, the FCC collected data from carriers with at least 10,000 switched access lines, or mobile telephony subscribers, in service in a particular state. Small carriers, many of whom serve rural areas with relatively small populations, were therefore underrepresented in the earlier data. 3 By including these carriers, the number of incumbent LEC and CLEC holding companies and unaffiliated carriers reporting local telephone service information as of December 31, 2005 tripled, and the number of reporting facilities- based mobile telephony providers doubled. 4 Based on the latest information now available, we summarize the following observations: 1 Local Competition and Broadband Reporting, CC Docket No. 99- 301, Report and Order, 15 FCC Rcd 7717 (2000); Local Telephone Competition and Broadband Reporting, WC Docket No. 04- 141, Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd 22340 (2004). During this data gathering program, qualifying providers file FCC Form 477 each year on March 1 (reporting data for the preceding December 31) and September 1 (reporting data for June 30 of the same year). An updated FCC Form 477, and instructions for that particular form, for each specific round of the data collection may be downloaded from the FCC Forms website at www. fcc. gov/ formpage. html. 2 Statistical summaries of the earlier Form 477 data collections appeared in previous releases of the Local Telephone Competition report, available at www. fcc. gov/ wcb/ iatd/ comp. html. 3 As of December 31, 2005, filers with fewer than 10,000 switched access lines in a state (including entities that previously filed on a voluntary basis) reported about 4.5 million lines (about 2.0 million incumbent LEC lines and about 2.5 million CLEC lines). By contrast, the data filed for December 2004 included about 0.6 million lines filed on a voluntary basis (about 0.2 million incumbent LEC lines and about 0.4 million CLEC lines). Mobile telephony service providers with fewer than 10,000 subscribers in a state reported about 364,000 subscribers as of December 31, 2005. Such filers reported (on a voluntary basis) about 69,000 subscribers a year earlier. 4 The nationwide number of CLEC holding companies and unaffiliated entities reporting local telephone service information increased from 149 to 374, and the number of incumbent LEC entities increased from 190 to 807. See Tables 3 and 4. The number of entities reporting mobile telephony subscribers increased from 76 to 155. See Table 14. 2 Date ILEC Lines CLEC Lines Total Dec 1999 181,202,853 8,194,243 189,397,096 4.3 % Jun 2000 179,648,725 11,557,381 191,206,106 6.0 Dec 2000 177,561,022 14,871,409 192,432,431 7.7 Jun 2001 174,752,275 17,274,727 192,027,002 9.0 Dec 2001 171,917,359 19,653,441 191,570,800 10.3 Jun 2002 167,330,006 21,644,928 188,974,934 11.5 Dec 2002 164,386,452 24,863,691 189,250,143 13.1 Jun 2003 158,274,538 26,985,345 185,259,883 14.6 Dec 2003 153,157,843 29,775,438 182,933,281 16.3 Jun 2004 147,993,218 32,033,915 180,027,133 17.8 Dec 2004 144,809,899 32,880,812 177,690,711 18.5 Jun 2005 143,757,708 33,891,002 177,648,710 19.1 Dec 2005 143,766,498 31,583,879 175,350,377 18.0 (Lines in Millions) CLEC Share Table 1 End- User Switched Access Lines Reported Only LECs with at least 10,000 lines in a state were required to report through December 2004.
