[Asterisk-biz] Call Market update & DIDs

[Andres at itranser.com]

To say the true, the way to bill for DID is not easy. It may depend of 
usage, concurrent calls, proporcition of DIDs compromised by line (ie, you 
may have a E1 line serving 300 DID numbers or have that line serving only 
30 DIDs), etc.

I think that a reasonable way to bill is

- a Setup Fee
- A minute rate


Due the fact that there may be DID numbers with a minimun usage (i.e, 
people that ask for a DID an have a very small usage of it),  I would also 
ask for a MINIMUN monthly fee (i.e, a minimun compromised usage each 
month). If your minute usage monthly is greater than the minimun montly 
fee, you will only pay for the minutes you use.  Also, you can setup 
several service agreenment (i.e, a proporcition of 3 DID /line will be 
billibale on a different price that a proporcition of 10 DID/line).  It 
would be nice if your DID page specifies, in addition to concurrent and 
codec calls allowed, the proporcition of number of  DID by number of real 
line.

Also, in case you have the DID number forwarded to a real psnt number, you 
will have to pay for that traffic at  your normal voip rates.

[Asterisk-biz] Call Market update & DIDs






All,

Call Market 0.4 has been up for a week now. It's pretty stable, and I've 
started work on 0.5. Uploads of terminations have been switched on. It's 
running at 10 to 20 searches per day, but only one or two real vendors. 
If you want to get in ahead of the crowd, now is the time to start 
adding your terminations. I can't guarantee 100% stability before 
version 1.0, but it should be reasonably good from now on. For those who 
missed the earlier conversations, the URL is:

http://call-market.com/

For 0.5 I'd like to list DIDs as well as terminations. However, I'm not 
sure how these are normally billed. Per number? Per minute? Both? Flat 
monthly fees? Are there minimum numbers or minutes?

As always, I welcome you feedback and suggestions.
