That's pretty much about right. 2c/minute is quite optimistic, usually carriers don't do that.

Sample rates: CLEC in a carrier hotel: 350-400, quantity 1 CLEC in a carrier hotel: ~200, full DS3 (ie quantity 28) ILEC tariff: 700$+standard loop charges (ie 13$/mile from serving wire center). -alex _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
