Roger I have experience with VoIP but no experience with US VoIP rules. Anyway, the rule is always the same: who owns the customers? If you are a RESELLER (how powerful are words!) then you resell the service, i.e. it sounds like you are not selling the service but re-selling, i.e. you are just the guy in the middle between the service provider (them) and the customer.
So, RE-selling does not sound like what you want to do, i.e. the customer sign a contract with you, whatever is your provider if you are connected to them or to others. So I would say to the "salesman" if he is so sure that the contract that you are going to sign makes YOU a service provider and not just another of their zombie-resellers... Personally we want to be the operator who will sell the service and not the reseller who will just get revenues from the contracts. That is RESELLING.... somebody else (not you) providing the service, and you finding customers for them.
