I think the intent behind Peter's statement and my follow-up was simply to say that resources aren't infinite, and everything has a limit, much like matter and energy and the universe itself. That doesn't mean the "ceiling" can't be very... very ... large in some cases. :-) You're right, there are plenty of Tier 1s that offer all-you-can-eat inbound. It is a mathematical certainty that if a) their oversubscription assumptions ran wildly under reality and b) they had a certain volume of customers, they would run out of resources. But it may not come to that. My follow-up about bad money driving out good with unlimited plans was more in relation to termination, and other less plausible invocations of the concept. -- Alex -- 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
