I could also see the Tier 1s enthusiastically supporting a system that appears to rationalise anyone below themselves out of the supply chain. :-)
They're getting better and better at delivering smaller transactions. It started out with the stereotypical, "Level3 won't talk to you unless you've got at least $25k/mo to commit", but where we are today is that just about anyone can have MFN pricing with a $500 deposit and a miniscule commit. Soon anyone with $10 will be able to terminate US domestic at $0.001. The proposed system might just hasten this process along, as the big CLECs that feed the industry ask, "Why do we need resellers again?" -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC 303 Perimeter Center North, Suite 300 Atlanta, GA 30346 United States Tel: +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) / +1-678-954-0671 (direct) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/ Sent from my BlackBerry. _______________________________________________ VoiceOps mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/voiceops
