Yes, you are missing some subtlty here...  Please excuse the double 
negatives in advance.

No participant may provide *Routes* for any Services that require payment 
from the calling party or their customer for communication with the 
service.  It does *not* say you may not charge your own customer to 
connect them to the destination Route that you get back, and it does *not* 
say you cannot charge a customer to represent them within the destination.
