For the most part, “long distance” calls within the US are a thing of the past and at least one mobile carrier now treats US/CA/MX as a single local calling area
Is this a case of telcos having switched to IP trunks and can reach other carriers for "free"
Or are wholesale long distance still billed between carriers but at prices so low that they can afford to offer "free" long distance at retail level ?
I think it boiled down to a recognition that the costs of billing were beginning to account for something like $0.99 of every $1 billed. Owen
