Jerry, Google just needs to change from one wholesaler to another and get rates that are 10 to 20 times lower.

No need to punish the consumer with charging them 50 times more.

The problem is that you only know what google pays and you don’t know what the tariffs are or the commercial agreement rates.

Which makes your solution crazy!

Eric you need to do some research and stop drinking the punch. I know what numbers Google blocks and I know the rates to the less than 100 numbers they are blocking. 2 to 3 cents they might pay 25 but they don’t have to. Why they don’t pay the lower amount is not anyones fault but google.

No building next door. No loophole. No need to pay 25 cents.

So why do they say they have to pay 25 cents… So they have a reason to block?

Another solutions might be for Google to start offering free conferencing, especially for users that already using their service, if it is good perhaps people will start switching from using those other free conferencing. I know I’ll use it.

That’s fine. If the call isn’t completed, Google doesn’t have to pay the connect fee. Everyone is happy.

Because a call to one building is $0.005 – $0.03 while these companies next door use a legal loophole to charge $0.25. Thus Google does not have the same low cost option to them that it does to their neighbor.

Google says in the NY Tmes that instead of costs of one-half a cent to 3 cents to the areas they are blocking that google has to pay 12, 14 and even 25 cents so they are blocking the calls to free conferencing services.

Rates between 2 and 3 cents to the locations Google is blocking are available. so why block?
