Oh, yes, and, I forgot the most important thing: In CABS settlement land, there lies a particularly vast chasm between "access charges assessed" and "access charges actually collected." The benefit of access charges must be adjusted down by the dubious probability of actually connecting. If it's a small amount, IXCs are too lazy to pay it. If it's a large amount, they'll dispute it, because that's what they do for sport. Thus, a small CLEC should just revise its CABS revenue projections downward 50% right from the top. Collecting is a problem even for mid-size to larger CLECs, though. If you're Level3, you'll probably get your access on account of your enormous, relentless, bloodthirsty collections and litigation machine, but short of that, have fun... -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 1170 Peachtree Street 12th Floor, Suite 1200 Atlanta, GA 30309 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/ -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
