The local telco doesn't see a red cent of any settlement charges when this happens.
We all feel very sorry for them, I'm sure.
Local telcos are, of course, all against this, and use any and every excuse to get these exchanges busted - a procedure that typically involves having the local police raid the exchange.
One method that makes raids difficult is that the landing site for these
calls is often a satellite dish (for the international side) combined with
GSM phones (for the local side).
Wow, VoIP+sat+GSM, that must add up to close to 1500 ms delay! That can't be any fun.
