Just because that is the way Telco's do it doesn't mean that it is the 
way it SHOULD be done, there is always room for improvement and fresh 
ideas. I also believe near realtime CDR is not only possible but should 
be used, the only thing I do once a month is long distance consolidation 
for billing, I use multiple LD carriers and all of their monthly records 
need to be normalized and consolidated with our records.
