| Not the case at all.

| When you call from {say} Inside the Beltway to The Valley, the
| money gets split. Of that {say} 10c/min, See&Pee err now Verizontal
| gets 3c, Specific Hell gets 3c, and the IXC gets all that is rest.
|
| If you have "bypass" on your end, See&Pee gets 0c/min.That doesn't explain why a T1 vs. POTS would affect LD rate. The local rate is charged by the local carrier anytime a trunk is in use. LD charges are on top of that when the LD carrier is used. By "bypass", do you mean a T1 directly to the LD carrier? If that's the case (where the LEC simply provides an unchannelized T1 between the IXC and the cust), then there are no local usage charges for LD calls. I think I see what you're getting at now. With POTS, the CLEC pays splits the per minute charge with the ILEC from whom they are renting the dialtone. With T1, the connection is directly to the CLEC's switch, so the ILEC won't skim any usage charges. I still don't see how this makes a difference specifically with LD charges--but it should reduce the cost of all calls as a whole--which is what makes T1 cost effective in the first place. _________________________________________________________________ KX-T Mailing list --- http://kxthelp.com/ Subscription changes: http://kxthelp.com/mailman/listinfo/kxt
