Except your customer may want to complete calls. Three times in the last two months I've had to work with Bell Canada who had to, in turn, work with their LD provider in the U.S., so that people who use Bell Canada for long distance can complete calls in our area. My family lives in Ontario and likes to call me from time to time.

Since when did our industry stop providing carriage and completing calls?
Since when did this industry aid and abet thieves? It's not very different from a doctor who gives you cholesterol drugs and vitamins instead of telling you to stop eating at McDonald's twice a day. Is it better to help someone keep doing the wrong thing? We have an opportunity to affect positive change in telecommunications.
