- stumm 17y agoStupid question: how do long distance charges fit into "connect to anyone at one price"?
- andreyf 17y agoYou can charge differently based on how far the data travels, but not whom it travels between. Hence, the weird "kickbacks" for sex hotlines. If I dial 1-900-SEX-TALK, the long distance carrier can't demand a cut of the $2.99/minute I'll pay for that call.
- padmanabhan01 17y agoWell, if different networks can charge different amounts for access, why not charge different amounts for different networks based on what they charge?
