Through our Telergee Alliance, we are able to offer an annual wireline benchmarking study that includes approximately 200 Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILECs) nationwide. The study classifies each participant into one of four categories:

• Average schedule cooperatives
• Cost cooperatives
• Average schedule corporations
• Cost corporations

By comparing your operations to others in the industry, benchmarking can assist you in your long-term planning as well as pinpoint areas where your company can improve. The scorecard that the study produces is a great tool to use in making your company more profitable.
