[asterisk-biz] Dear Termination Providers,

For the love of god and all that is holy, why do you not include your US
rates in your ratesheets?  I don't care that each customer gets a different
rate, if you can terminate calls worth your salt, you can hire someone to
write a script that includes the rate for the customer in your rate sheets.
It's fine if one has to get the rate sheet via a URL like this:

     http://www.example.com/dynamic_rates.php?username=xxx&password=xxx&format=csv

(Bonus -- If I'm logged into your site, username/password isn't required!)

I don't mind!  I don't even mind if I have to sign up for free to GET your
A-Z rates!  I _DO_ mind having to update US rates by hand while I can
automate the updating of rates using your published rate sheet!

The United States is a country too -- stop thinking about all the other
countries separately from your A-Z rate sheet and leaving out the US
because it is, for you, not International.  You can't know what your
customer thinks is International!

So do me a favor -- figure out how to publish your rates on a per-customer
basis, so we can automatically update rates from your site, and so that we
can maybe even automatically send you more traffic when you put a
destination on sale!
