[JD wrote:] The ETSI OSP standard defines Pricing Indication messages which
enables a VoIP device to query a carrier for their price for a particular
service or dial code.  A response to a route query can also include price
information and the price for a call can also be included in the standard
OSP CDR.  This OSP Pricing Indication feature is not supported in the
Asterisk OSP module, but is a feature TransNexus can contribute to Asterisk
if there is any community interest.
