Ira,
I am not sure what you mean by CLECS who routinely do not make it. This is a large CLEC with thousands of customers and alot of network assets located in many states and have a fair amount of customers in my area (IL, WI). IN addition, they are the only facilities based alternative to SBC in many rural areas of IL.

They are not some small regional player that serves just one or two markets. Most of their circuits are provisioned from their own network (as opposed to resold or UNE-P) so switching them to SBC is going to require alot of work.

I know of at least a dozen customers I am in touch with here in CHicago who would be in serious trouble if Mcleod sends out a disconnect notice. I think legally they only have to provide a 30 day notice. THat is not enough time for a cusotmer to review alternatives, sign paperwork, get the contracts approved, provision the new circuits and ensure instllation before the cut off date. This situation has disaster written all over it. I hope I am wrong.
