		<description>&lt;p&gt;[...] 在这里看到了这种免费国际长途的运作原理。大概就是说，在美国打长途电话到一些乡村地区，会占用那些当地电话公司的线路，这时像AT&amp;T这样的大公司就需要支付一些线路占用费用。于是那些公司通过voip技术，把转接的国际长途的成本降到非常低，而赚取其与AT&amp;T支付的线路占用费之间的差价。这样，其它州的电话用户越往这些偏僻的地方打长途电话，这些公司就可以从AT&amp;T那里套更多的钱。之前的号码，和上面的三个号码都是Iowa州的，原因是Iowa州的这种termination fee高于通常的13美分，更容易赚到钱。AT&amp;T一个月的支付额甚至可以达到2,000,000美元之多。当然这种套利活动还是引来了官司，包括施压于allfreecalls.net这样的公司，中止提供接入号码等。 [...]&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Normally I wouldn&#039;t respond to online postings but yours was just calling out for some adjustment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;unethical &amp; immoral&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;intensive purposes &quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;No way an RLEC, ILEC, or whatever entity was routing traffic with a normal billing rate to AT&amp;T, Sprint, etal. of $20K monthly goes to $2.2 million monthly.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, you should get your money back from whatever law school you think you went to.  What specifically makes this service &quot;UNETHICAL &amp; IMMORAL&quot;?  Are they killing baby pandas and selling their brains to illegal research facilities in Guam?  Are they forcing people into the sex trade in the Virgin Islands?  Does PUTTING IT IN ALL CAPS make it true?  You have successfully and inadvertently given the perfect &lt;em&gt;correct&lt;/em&gt; example of &quot;begging the question&quot; with your follow-up, &quot;Surprise, surprise!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Second, it&#039;s not &quot;intensive purposes&quot; it&#039;s &quot;intents and purposes&quot;.  What the hell are &quot;intensive purposes&quot;???  You aren&#039;t an expert if you don&#039;t even know how to spell phrases you try to use to position yourself as an expert - it just makes you look dumb.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;Ask any auditor of the telco’s &amp; they will tell you it is not illegal but they know that it is unethical &amp; immoral and they are willing to go along with all of this because the telco doesn’t balk now when they are presented an exorbitant audit fee.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wow, did you hear that on the Drudge Report ... or was it Dr. Phil?  You&#039;ve certainly got a craft ahead of you, weaving conspiracy and complacency as well as you do.  Watch out Savage, another neocon is on the rise!  Everyone (me!) says so, so it must be true!  Ask &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; auditor!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Finally, AT&amp;T&#039;s having a large bill isn&#039;t proof of anything other than they got stuck with a larger bill than expected - just like millions of AT&amp;T&#039;s customers.  Couldn&#039;t have happened to a nicer company.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;There may not be anything illegal...as this is a loophole, but it is more than UNETHICAL &amp; IMMORAL. And surprise, surprise, if it is unethical and immoral it is for all intensive purposes illegal. This will be decided to be nothing more than what it really is, traffic pumping.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No way an RLEC, ILEC, or whatever entity was routing traffic with a normal billing rate to AT&amp;T, Sprint, etal. of $20K monthly goes to $2.2 million monthly. This is ridiculous &amp; laughable and will be determined by the FCC for what is is, a billing scheme.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;There is nothing illegal about what futurephone did and will do again. The IXC&#039;s are playing a pretty risky game with there international busines. If the Iowa court rules they are an ISP, they will be back in business and the carriers will owe them alot of money.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They hae filed some doc&#039;swith the FCC that have very good arguments.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;South Korea Finland and Sweden have 100Mbps fiber optic broadband for less than the standard ADSL rate offered in the Bank of England owned &quot;United States Corporation&quot; founded 1871 in America, of about $29.95 US, yet US taxpayers have already paid a corporate welfare subsidy for Big Telcos to roll out fiber optic cable in the US. They have left the ripped off taxpayer with old copper wire, slow narrower band service, and higher fees for inferior technology. Not ever  satisfied, Big Telco campaign$ and lobbie$ now to bill customers with higher INBOUND traffic, higher fees for more bandwidth. Even little public advocate bloggers hosting sites with suddenly popular web page content are forced out of their non-profitable self paid &quot;markets&quot;, after being strong armed by higher inbound traffic fees. The most critical and current topics of discussion are therefore muffled by the very commercial interest forces public advocate web page operators hope to expose or explain. If all US American internet customers had properly been provided the bandwidth, as intended by the federal subsidies and tax breaks given them, they already paid for in tax payer subsidies to Big Telco, and it&#039;s &quot;Ma&quot;, there would be no possible so called &quot;bottle necking&quot; or traffic stricture of bandwith for these predominately text based free speech web pages of any socio-political bent, let alone anyone desiring reasonable speeds for free international VoIP telephony, or even high definition streaming video. Let money not be equivalent to speech any more than it already has become, especially in the last few years. Money should not be speech, nor corporations treated as persons, however more vociferous and possessed of legal rights than a human being.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shame on the big telcos. When they were broken up by The US Department of Justice, their wires and any other networks really should have been nationalized. The US tax payer paid to subsidize them at every step of infrastructure building, while also paying their ever increasing call rates. Big Telco&#039;s rates never came down even a penny fraction per minute unless new technologies were developed by third party startup telcos and entrepreneurs which expanded call carrying capacity of copper lines, or broadband circuits which Big Telco, except in 1982&#039;s AT&amp;T &quot;breakup&quot;, always managed to pay enough politicians through Washington and state lobbyists to continually monopolize. It took from 1974 to 1982 to accomplish this semblance of an anti-trust action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Far Future?
If some day in the globalist future, citizens have become Borg like machine enhanced corporate entities, they could by virtue of parallel processing on the order of a SETI project, Matrix plug their collective hive consciousness into Big Telco&#039;s (or some MegaCOM entity then) network system, supplanting it with their own scary Utopian nightmare society, and taking control until the fleshy part of them is completely excised. It would be ultimate justice for the elite servants of our global invisible master. He waits to collect their &quot;souls&quot; on a little flash memory keychain called Hell. Inventor Ray Kurzweil seems to think the time is not far off.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;ATT is ripping off people but does not want to pay for calls people made to Iowa telecommunication companies. Posts like this are usually made by people affiliated with ATT in one or other way. I know laws and the way telecommunication companies work. There is only one loophole in this situation. ATT is the biggest telecommunication company in the US and has a lot of money and especially power. So in this situation futurephone against ATT is like a normal person against a president. It does not matter who is right but it is known who wins. I hope the truth will be uncovered and won&#039;t be hidden in the court papers this time. Futurephone, keep up fighting for what is truly yours but make no mistake and keep all the communication strictly thru the mail only and ATT will most likely offer you a good compensation just to close out on this one. Once again this is only my opinion as an independent telecommunication expert. I am not affiliated with ATT or futurephone in any way.
Sincerely,
Andriy Khyzhnyy

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Markos, that won&#039;t work either.  Then you&#039;ll simply have the LEC&#039;s themselves creating programs like this, without the help of 3rd parties.  They&#039;ll create their own &quot;marketing divisions&quot;, and then they won&#039;t have to share anything with anyone.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I think it is lame that we need to legislate against stupidity! In this case, AT&amp;Ts Stupidity will probably result in some changes in Telecoms legislation, just because they are the big boys.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then again, some guy probably in India is making a lot of money with the willing Assistance of an IA Telco.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What needs to happen is that the settlement fees should NOT be shared with a third party, rather remain between telcos. Any sharing with end users or customers should be considered abuse.&lt;/p&gt;
