TSRH. When I was at Alltel we discovered one client that was using his 3g card on a roaming partners network 24/7. As we could not bill based on this we only discovered it via a roaming settlement audit. I think at the time we were paying .35 cents per kb or something like that (might have been MOU based). Basically this customer was costing us $10-$20k per month and we had no way to track it back to them. I believe they fired the customers using the clause that nationwide is included, but you your home majority use location must be on our network. the lawyers had nicer way of saying it :) Wireless data interconnect (GRX/CRX) is like the most arcane and backwards peering there is. every single bit of use must be tracked and metered back to the user, and it makes the whole thing more expensive than it needs to be. It's like going to your users and demanding different payments based on the amount of data they receive from different ASN's. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice 727-214-2508 - Fax http://bryanfields.net
