That's not entirely true at all.. Some RLECs may do this, but not all. I came from running a rural access tandem for a lot of RLECs, we had plenty of capacity to every carrier and these calls would just randomly not complete. It wasn't a matter of not having trunking available, the calls just never appeared. No IAM, nothing incoming at all. -- Tim On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Jay Hennigan <jay at west.net> wrote:

I?ve been invited to attend an ATIS conference call on 12/8 regarding us next-gen networks and rural area call issues (completion, quality, etc).
In my experience the majority or rural area call issues are due to traffic pumping done by the rural carriers themselves in conjunction with chat lines, conference services, etc.
If there's a town with a population of 300 people, then it doesn't make sense for carriers to have an aggregate capacity of more than 300 trunks there. Hence completion issues when the carrier deliberately abuses the network for profit.
