kudos:12 | So, in a nutshell (a Telco analogy) Let's make an analogy here:
Instead of the originating caller paying the long-distance toll charges, AT&T now wants to charge their customer for the long-distance per-minute toll and also charge the person their customer is calling a per-minute toll charge ... even though the person the AT&T customer is calling (or has been called by) may have a completely different phone company. |

In your example only one customer is paying my carrier....me. ATT wants to go a step further and charge me and my counter party. It's like making a call or receiving a call from your friend's cell phone and getting a bill from your friend's cell phone carrier for the minutes you spend on the phone taking to them. |

Just wait until the cable companies find their way into the cell business and deliver it better than the telcos.
