There are protections in place already. Get writtecontracts that protect you as a resellerand dont make promises you cant keep with that contract, or be a real phone company so you can own the numbers.
*RUMOR* has it (ie this is what I heard but havent independantly confirmed) that the reason nufone got shut off was they didnt make their commitments. If true, regulators should never be in a position to protect people that buy from companies that make promises they cant keep. If they did everyone would say they will do 100M minutes per month to get good wholesale rates, then if they dont do the volume hide behind the law. The solution is to be careful when you are a customer - 'buyer beware' - and only go with companies that arent all talk. This isnt the first time nufone has had issues with their providers, the first time, according to many media reports, was nufones fault for not understanding the services they were selling and they got taken for about $400k. This time it _appears_ it was by making promises they couldnt keep. I personally would never use a company that has such a history, but that is just me. -----Original Message----- >From: "Paul"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >It would be nice if the regulators would protect NuFone and their >customers in situations like this.
