[Modus] OT - National Wholesale Dial

[Bill Rakowitz]

There lies the problem Gary.  It’s possible for a carrier to “define” a rate center different from a “POP”.  (The telco industry does not believe this should be allowed) Often, the carrier will have no connectivity to the “rate center”, meaning calls that really do originate from the “rate center” must travel over toll facilities to reach the “POP”.   It is ugly indeed.   Bill   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Carr Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 11:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] OT - National Wholesale Dial   Get a NANPA database subscription and compare the rate centers.       Gary     My only point I guess is that if you are in a position where you are handed a list of number from a network provider which owns them it's tough to know if they handed you some bum numbers on that list.   Thanks,  Todd Routhier  http://www.YourOwnISP.com   ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Rakowitz To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 11:02 AM Subject: [Modus] OT - National Wholesale Dial       >>> When the local telco says it's local then bills it out as long distance,             >>> it's pretty clear that the local telco has an issue.   This would be true.    However, we have had many occurrences of the carrier presenting these numbers as “local”  to the end user without ever checking with the telco (when indeed they were not local calls).   I speak from both sides of the issue   (telco/isp)  J   In these cases, it’s pretty clear that the carrier has an issue.   <just to keep things in perspective>   Bill
