funny story about this in our company - we had some "Project managers"
and "Development managers" hired later who had lots of experience in
telephony, and at some point when discussing some minor problems with
my implementation, they told me that this is not the way how to do it.
Telco's do all processing at end of month, so this system won't last
for long. Currenty everybody in our company probably would be very
disappointed if they wouldn't be able to see fresh data in reports
immediately.

Just because that is the way Telco's do it doesn't mean that it is the
way it SHOULD be done, there is always room for improvement and fresh
ideas. I also believe near realtime CDR is not only possible but should
be used, the only thing I do once a month is long distance consolidation
for billing, I use multiple LD carriers and all of their monthly records
need to be normalized and consolidated with our records.
I don't think that all Telco's are using the same procedure for billing.
Sometimes they use both. There are Telco's that provide pre-paid
services (calling cards, pre-paid mobile services etc) and their calls
have to be billed in real-time mode. The same Telco can use a CDR
aggregation model to bill their post-paid customers.
