| Abstract: | This study examines the role of differentiation among competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) in almost 1200 US cities in 1999 and 2002, before and after a valuation crash affecting communications companies. The null hypothesis of homogenous competitors are tested and rejected. Strong evidence is found that differentiated CLECs account for both potential market demand and the business strategies of competitors when making their entry decisions. |
