I wasn't convinced when someone approached me years ago with an idea involving selling ringtones on PRS, and Decca weren't convinced by the Beatles.
The plan you've described generally leads to discovery of what the asterisk in Unlimited* means and/or a detailed read of the provider's terms, FUP or AUP. --Dave -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of C F Sent: 05 July 2012 21:48 To: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] Hosted PBX Provider with local London number Quite interesting, I hear what you are saying. But I am still not convinced. So technically speaking, if you find a provider that sells an unlimited plan to your DID and you make sure to make 24*7 duration phone calls and said plan price per month is less than 24*7*60*recipcomps you will end up making money. I would be very surprised if those providing unlimited plans cost more than 24*7*60*recipcomps On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 12:49 PM, David Knell <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, the calculation's pretty simple: sale price less cost = gross margin. > And, no, our infrastructure isn't free, but UKDDI runs on existing hardware > which is also used for various other services, so its marginal > infrastructure > cost can be considered to be zero. > > In fact, probably the greatest UKDDI-related cost is my time answering > e-mails asking how we do it for free, this one being the third I've had this > week.. > > --Dave > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of C F > Sent: 05 July 2012 17:33 > To: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion > Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] Hosted PBX Provider with local London number > > How did you calculate that? do you get infrastructure for free? > > On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 11:49 AM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: >> As it happens, it's rather more margin per minute than we achieve for >> wholesale, and comes with no credit risk.. >> >> --Dave (UKDDI) >> >> Sent from my HTC >> >> >> ----- Reply message ----- >> From: "C F" <[email protected]> >> To: "Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion" >> <[email protected]> >> Subject: [asterisk-biz] Hosted PBX Provider with local London number >> Date: Thu, Jul 5, 2012 17:58 >> >> >> That is usually too low to keep up a good infrastructure.
