- I am researching into the variations in telco tariffs across the USA
- and Canada. It would be a considerable help if readers of this digest
- could Email me as much detail of *their* *local* tariff as they can
- manage.
-
- The sort of detail I need includes:
-
- Different rates of line rental - does it matter what the line terminates on?
- What are the charges for ISDN lines, where they are available?
- Are ISDN calls charged at different rates?
- Calls within a LATA - when are they chargeable?
- 800 calls - how are these charged: do 800-portable numbers cost more per call
- 700 calls - ditto.
-
- Particular interest in calls that for whatever reason access carriers
- via the less usual channels ... is it Feature Group D on 950 numbers?
-
- I am trying to establish the width of the variation, not the average!
- (I want to include the material in a conference presentation in London
- soon, dealing with equal access, numbering, tariffing and billing.
- The stories in this Digest on carrier billing, 900 scams, etc have all
- been very helpful).
-
- All information will be gratefully acknowledged - but the identity of
- sources will remain confidential unless they request otherwise!
