The ILECs want to control every aspect of their lines so they can maximize their profits now and into the foreseeable future.

You also must consider overhead. A small/new company has less overhead and so can charge lower prices for the same product. ILECs have tons of fat like tenured employees with good benefit packages, network upkeep/upgrades and don't forget the price tag for the big boys at the top.
