That is correct..... Pac bell and Ameritech bid zero cost because they get income from the NAPs by charging people to attach. bellcore gets a small piece of change for providing research coordination with the two rbocs.
How is MFS and Ameritech making money at the NAP's then? $2,000 to connect to MAE-East including telco is vary good. How do they make money at that?
