That depends on their target market, we are switching large numbers of 
international minutes and trade only in GBP, others only in EUR - there may 
be quite a large North American bias, but it is not as all inclusive as you 
may think.

However, if you reduce currency to USD, EUR and GBP you will have 99% of the 
providers covered, and then it would be an easy process to display any rate 
in all three currencies.

Of course, to be truely meaningful for any carrier trying maintain quality, 
instead of just purchasing at the cheapest price you then start to need to 
classify routes by ASR, codecs, technology, IP distance etc. and the whole 
thing gets a lot more complicated!
