[Asterisk-biz] Flat Rate Long Distance Providers

[Ed Greenberg]

Most voip providers will only sell flat rate to people who can only 
originate one (or maybe two) calls at a time -- such as users of a hard or 
soft phone, or an ATA device.

If you were to connect to such a service with Asterisk, all your users 
would be able to initiate simultaneous calls on the same service. A great 
business model for you, but not for your provider.

I imagine that the providers could sell flat rate to Asterisk users and 
restrict the number of concurrent outbound calls. Why do they not?
