Let me lower the reading comprehension level for you. I said that
tier1's bear the brunt of the orders, and insinuated that tier2's
get less orders. They do. Many midwest/rural CLEC's get NO
orders. They must still be compliant.

The place to get the authoritative word is direct from the
AskCALEA folks here: http://www.askcalea.net/ - and of course
you can discuss with your telecom lawyers.
You may be confusing terminology though, which is understandable.
I can't find a government official calling defining the applicability
of the law a "wish list" so I'll leave that to the gentle readers to
determine.
