[Asterisk-biz] Now a question about carriers ...

[Justin McAteer]

Because if you are publicly traded company in the US, the FCC requires 
certain disclosure. For example, publicly traded companies must file 
quartly financial statements, including a Balance Sheet and Income 
Statement, with the FCC. These documents are then made public. This 
provides a great deal of transparency into the companies operation and 
financial health (ie. stability).

Thank You,
