It seems that would make me an employee entitled to all the company provides. Where is the line a company can't cross between employee and indepenendt contractor?

They can ask a contractor to sign a non-compete clause but that would only apply in cases where the contractor couldn't go in with his own lower bid in order to get work.
The independent contractor could still advertise as they can't prevent him from working.
There is a fine line between independent and employee. Usually an independent has more than one employer. This is only for tax purposes and what he could deduct.

If it is appropriate for that specific field. // Signing a non-compete entitles you to nothing, you are agreeing to stay out of that field for a specific amount of time when you leave. If you do not like that, go work for someone else. Some very competitive fields need this protection.

They can ASK you anything they want, but I wouldn't sign anything that extends your obligation to them beyond the end of your contract. That would be ridiculous. You'd basically be saying, "After I'm through here, I'm just going to quit working."
