[asterisk-biz] Nationwide DID's

[Miles Scruggs]

Not all but in some markets it is very lucrative.  For instance we are  
about to turn up a market where we actually pay $0.005/min to  
"customers" who drive substantial origination.  Great tactic is just  
keep the tab running whether they pay or not, soon enough it will  
reach a level where the court costs justified, and you get to collect.  
Just need patience and resolve and it all will come out in the wash.

Cheers
