This is ages old. A lot of small rural telecoms charge interconnect companies higher than reasonable rates to complete calls. Minnesota is one of those states where LD companies commonly give you busy signals (have for years) because the cost on connecting at the local telco was too high to put in the proper amount of capacity. Quite frankly, the FCC hasn't made it a priority and probably won;t for some time. They act as though they are neutered with everything they do. The post pokes fun at a carrier bringing it to customers attention and asking them to contact the FCC to open the playing field. At the same time, they at least tell their customers there is a change in service, and why. While I may not agree with their change in the AUP, I don't care. They offer a free conferencing service and it may or may not have the capacity you need. It's free. I see no problems with a company exercising it's right to complain about what they consider unfair business practices or regulatory loopholes that keep rural areas in the "dark ages". If the customers don't like the terms, they can seek service elsewhere. Free market rules. No, I don't see a problem. Then again, everyone who is a regular on here knew I'd chime right in. -- ====================== Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 Fax: 434.984.8431 Email: [email protected] LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 Fax: 434.984.8427 Helpdesk Contract Customers: http://www.myitdepartment.net/gethelp/ Why do mathematicians always confuse Halloween and Christmas?
