| reply to Tomek Re: Back to Fees
Right but it's not a tax or a price increase; it is a 911 recovery charge of ~$260/year per DID (direct inbound dial #) that will fluctuate from State to State and from provider to provider. I thing that a lot of the business is going to end up overseas for Americans that are looking for less expensive voip with US #'s. While pushing the small Mom and Pop providers out of business. For them, it isn't just the cost of 911, it is the non obtainable coverage that goes along with offering 911 services. These small operations that are needed by many and are just an upgrade from a calling card are being wiped out. If their gross profit is under a couple of mil, how can they stand up to a couple of multimillion $ suits just because the internet was down when a subscriber need to call 911? Would you insure them? |
