原文是：
SIZE doesn't always matter, even in telecommunications billing. For smaller CLECs and ILECs, turning to a major corporation, such as Convergys Corp., Lucent Technologies Inc., ADC Telecommunication Inc. or Amdocs Ltd., for their billing systems isn't really an option because of cost and scale. For a Tier 3 or smaller Tier 2 CLEC or ILEC, using a billing product such as Lucent's Arbor/BP or ADC's Saville CBP, which are capable of handling in excess of 100 million subscribers, would be akin to firing a howitzer at a housefly.

限于英文水平,我的理解,主要介绍的是通信用的扩展器和处理器的选片.并且举了朗讯的一种带通和模数转换的连接比特处理器.所以你说的两个缩略词个人理解:
CLECs：communication line expander chip select 通信线路扩展器选片
ILECs：interface latching element 接口锁存单元选片
ILEC Stands for incumbent local exchange carrier. An ILEC is a telephone company that was providing local service when the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was enacted.
CLEC: A Competitive Local Exchange Carrier is a telephone company that competes with an Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) such as a Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC), GTE, ALLNET, etc.
