As a vendor of high-performance LCR software, we can say from our experience 
that 2 million minutes of domestic isn't really worth the bother as far as LCR 
is concerned. It's just not enough traffic. Not with the average cost of 
domestic trending down to 0.002.

True, you will see a return on investment going from no LCR whatsoever to some 
kind of LCR in that scenario. But beyond that, optimising the nuances at that 
level is, in my opinion at least, a fool's errand with diminishing returns. 

We actually turn down customers with that kind of volume when they come to us 
saying they're interested in LCR because, although we would welcome another 
sales opportunity, it offends our conscience to sell someone something they 
don't need. Unless they want CDR analytics or some other benefit of the Class 4 
switch software, nah.

Subject: [VoiceOps] Current state of the LCR art

All,

I’m interested in learning about current best practices regarding LCR in the 
CLEC context (~2M minutes / month of LD traffic).  What software/vendors are 
you using (or avoiding)?  What are the non-obvious pros and cons?  How 
automated is your system / how much labor do you put in?  What percentage are 
you saving over one provider with a good rate deck when all costs are 
considered?  Any insights are appreciated.

I’m cross-posting this on the FISPA CLEC list, so I apologize if I hit you 
twice.

Thanks,

Dave Sill
