[asterisk-biz] Algorithms for generating dialing codes and rates?

[Avi Marcus]

Ruddy, he's asking the next question...
I have my routing table, but I want to provide the customer with an a-z or
 just npa-nxx rate list.
How do I automatically comb my database for each possible destination
sub-type to generate a rate deck, and properly merge carriers with my
pre-defined profit margin?

It's not a simple question...
