The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed competition to the incumbent telcos (ILECs), enabling new companies (CLECs) customers, and ezCallingCard and ezCallerID for calling card validation as well as enhanced caller ID services. The new ezAccess gateway streamlines the leasing of special access circuits for use by CLEC business customers that need high-capacity network transmission facilities. These can include DS1 and DS3 circuits for long-distance service or Internet access. To order such circuits, a CLEC must send an access service request (ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) Using voice recognition to replace keypad entry for telephone voice menus. Typically used to speak the digits 0 through 9 insted of keying them, ASR systems may be able to recognize a limited vocabulary.

(ILEC (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier) A traditional local telephone company such as one of the Regional Bell companies (RBOCs). Contrast with CLEC. See ELEC and TELRIC. ). DSET's ezAccess gateway automates this process and can eliminate the highly manual procedures of exchanging ASR forms via faxes and e-mail. "Telecom providers and business customers alike are facing the same challenge when it comes to bandwidth requirements," said Phillip Cavallo, DSET's vice president of marketing and product management. "As a CLEC's network and customer base grow, so does the need to be as efficient as possible in the ordering and deployment of dedicated high-speed facilities. CLECs are already using our other gateways to interconnect with trading partners across the country, and ezAccess capabilities will make the ezConnect suite even more attractive to the growing CLEC community."
