Mike, that is correct. CLEC's get decent pricing on DS1 loops from wire centers they are collocated in. If they have a customer that is served from a different wire center they need to get an EEL, which is just two unbundled elements combined into one for ease of ordering and tracking.

Pomondn, an IXC isn't usually involved in EEL's unless they have a presence in the wire center and are just providing loops and EEL's like a CLEC would. CLEC's don't get to charge IXC's for anything loop related, only LD traffic related. It's possible that instead of the typical IXC loops plus milage pricing they are doing a flat rate EEL pricing and making it available to CLEC's. Some of your question doesn't fit together as to who is charging whom.
