“…Absent nonmarket incentives, it would be expected that CLECs would rather serve customers with higher incomes. Foreman (2002) finds that areas with facilities-based CLECs have higher than average household incomes. As higherincome households are likely to have higher expenditures on telephone services, it is expected that higher incomes will be positively associated with CLEC entry in a zip code area.…”

“…However, Crandall does not examine CLEC entry patterns as is done in this article. Foreman (2002) presents descriptive statistics associated with the demographics of residential customers served by facilities-based CLECs. He finds that in communities where facilities-based local exchange competition is present, the community is more likely to be in close proximity to business and to have higher average income levels.…”

This article examines local exchange entry in SBC's California territory. Analysis is conducted based on five-digit zip code areas. Information on economic, demographic, and regulatory variables, including prices of unbundled loops, is included in the analysis. Results of censored Poisson analysis indicate that these economic, demographic, and regulatory variables play a statistically significant role in leading to higher probabilities of low levels of entry in areas where loop prices are higher, fewer large businesses exist, and costs of self-provision are higher.

“…birth, death records) are available on the web. Foreman (2002) sampled from the telephone directory listing for residential facilities‐based customers and compared the demographic profile of its Census block where the customers resided with the counties and state counterparts. The study found that the average income and educational levels of the people who live in the census block with facilities‐based competitions were likely to be higher.…”

The Internet contains a great wealth of information available online. People search engines, such as WhitePages (http://www.whitepages.com), gather personal‐level demographic data, including full name, address, age and household members. Requiring only a surname and locational reference (e.g. city or postal code) as the minimum search criteria, such people search engines can be perceived as a gigantic database of demographic records. The objective of this article is to outline the development of a web‐based demographic data extraction tool for population monitoring. In this study, a web prototype was developed to extract web demographics of the Vietnamese‐American (VA) population in Texas, an ethnic minority with unique migration history, from WhitePages. After post‐processing, the personal‐level demographic data represent 40.3% of 202,003 VA in Texas reported by the American Community Survey (ACS) 2009. While all enumeration strategies, the web approach included, have their own strengths and weaknesses, this study suggests an alternative approach that is complementary to existing enumeration strategies. More research and development are needed to validate the accuracy of web demographics and further enhance data navigation and extraction rules. The utilization and release of web demographics must be cautious with regards to privacy and integrity of personal identity.

“…For example, Jamison (2004) finds that when regulators require incumbents to charge lower prices for unbundled network elements relative to their costs, incumbents act to limit CLEC entry by delaying negotiations with CLECs or making implementation of interconnection service difficult. 7 Other studies find that CLECs building their own networks are more successful than are those that do not build but instead lease lines from the incumbent (Foreman 2002). Greenstein and Mazzeo (2006) examine CLEC entry, focusing on the variety of services offered by CLECs.…”
