OK, what are are actually  talking about here is the "call model" for standard Interconnect (inter-carrier) billing.
Nearly all Interconnect calls are based on a CASCADE billing model,  the  charges (invoice direction) flows in the opposite direction to the call direction.  ie  the  terminating carrier  charges  the IXC  who charges the  ILEC/CLEC who inturn charges the subscriber. Toll free is exactly the opposite.

I don't think that the Trixter is on crack, but I do think we're mixing apples and oranges. Or in this case, access and egress.

CLECs definitely receive access charges. The IXC pays the CLEC (or ILEC) when a call is delivered from the subscriber to the IXC.

On the other end, when the call is delivered from that IXC to the (C)LEC for termination, that's called Egress, and it's usually negotiated out of most contracts since it's such a small amount.

I contract to a CLEC. Their regulatory folks state that egress is no longer viable.

I wonder why Stanaphone and IPKall are still giving out free DIDs?
