If they charge you USF on your wholesale rate, who pays on the
difference between your wholesale rate and the customer's marked up rate?
USF rules are pretty strict. If a USF-subject class of carrier has
interstate telecommunications revenues (not Internet per se) that would
subject it to USF payments of <$10k/year, then it is "de minimis" and
does not pay. BUT then its suppliers treat it as retail and they pay on
the services supplied to the de minimis carrier. Once the carrier
crosses out of de minimis, it suppliers must verify that it is paying
USF, and then should not charge it USF on their wholesale sales. So
it's paid once, only once, by the last non-de mimimis carrier en route
to the retail customer. (Disclaimer: IANAL and that's just my
understanding.)
E911 is a state requirement. Interconnected VoIP services have to do
it, but the state sets the price.

So I've been using Vitelity for a while in the office here, with
freeswitch, and it works great.
I was considering reselling the vitelity service to my customers, the
only thing that has held me back is the legal requirements. I thought
I had to collect USF fees, register with the FCC, pay it to them.
Maybe sales tax. etc.
I was at wispamerica yesterday and talked to a fellow at the Vitelity
booth. He told me that they collect the USF, so we don't have to, the
e-911 is optional, all I have to do is sign up as a reseller to get
better pricing and charge what I like to the customers.
Is this correct? I've learned to never trust a salesman. Something
doesn't sound right, surely it can't be that easy?
Thanks,
Roger
