Subject: ISDN at home (not)
An explanation given me is as follows:
The RBOCs engineer their switches to support a busy call hour. Their
experience has been that voice calls are on average must shorter than
data calls. Therefore, the resources in their switches are engineered
for voice calls. Data calls on average last longer. Therefore, to
engineer their network to support data, they have to install more
capacity in the switching gear. Therefore, they have to charge more
for data since they can't subsidize the data portion with voice rates.
