Since there is a wide variation (in and out of the US), asterisk does not try to detect when a call has been answered. It considers that outbound call answered as sson as it is done dialing.

Perhaps though, a configurable option to set that to xx seconds would be 
useful, much as many LD resellers used to do for billing. If the call 
was up for longer than, lets say, 30 seconds, it was assumed to have 
been answered and billing would start.
