Applying lets say 1 cent per 100 bit charge, AAA gets $455.64 from BBB
So here is my question -- why is this kind of arrangement not being used anywhere???
The bookkeeping costs $2000 per month for *BOTH* providers to monitor this, collect data, collect bills, etc....

Same source as the other guy's data. I pulled it out of thin air. Actually, I figured $2,000 per month would be an appropriate salary for one clerk to handle this job. And the point was that managing settlements costs money. We know that in the POTS system the costs of usage based billing are at least 50% of the total.

They are happy - POTS have not 'ping', 'www', 'IP', 'connectionless', etc, etc... It's easy to compare IP with TV... BTW, that's why PTT likmes ATM - there is _CONNECTION_ and it's easy to get money for the every bit -:). But it's outside this list. --- Aleksei Roudnev, Network Operations Center, Relcom, Moscow (+7 095) 194-19-95 (Network Operations Center Hot Line),(+7 095) 239-10-10, N 13729 (pager) (+7 095) 196-72-12 (Support), (+7 095) 194-33-28 (Fax)
