Re: [ProgSoc] Drying up, hands or money
Ah, right.
A bit like back in the early 90's when Optus first popped up and
offered a prefix-based carrier selection method, one of the guys
I was working with a the time (Terry, btw) had this great plan that
if he could convince enough people to make one call via that prefix
per billing cycle, the 48c it cost Optus to open an account for you
and then prepare & send out a paper bill .. was larger than the
revenue they'd generate, ultimately sending them packing. There
were a handful of fundamental flaws in this plan, but I suspect he
wasn't being entirely serious.
Anyhoo, the call termination costs probably have a sliding scale,
but they may, as you suggest, be linear. Do all caps include freedom
to call any network, or do they have components of us versus them
calls?
To clarify - there's no requirement that it be a single 33-hour call,
is there? The same effect (possibly improved, if call establishment
costs are charged slightly higher) could be had with 33 x 1 hour calls
and so on, yes?
We'll have to defer to Matthew as to whether this is likely to pop
up on an exception report somewhere.
Jedd.
