Cost structure has never been more important than now for the nation's Rural Local Exchange Carriers (RLECs). RLECs are not seeing much organic growth these days, due to a decline in voice revenues due to erosion of wireline services in the face of competition from Cable/MSOs and Wireless companies. The regulatory environment is also uncertain. Recently, rural operators have petitioned the FCC challenging the exclusive agreements that have been formed between handset vendors and the Tier One carriers. After all, why should a digital divide occur in the states with the urban customers having access to all the latest handset technology while the choices offered to the rural population remain limited?

Recently, we've seen the formation of a couple of mega-sized rural providers resulting from significant spin-offs. Cost savings mandated in the face of a flat market seems to have all the pundits predicting significant M&A activity for 2008 involving the RLECs. Winning RLECs will not only look to M&A as a means to compete, but also consider improving margins by tackling one of their largest areas of spend – Network Cost.
