The last I heard (?.?.?) was it was illegal to implement toll bypass and
resell the service. It is ok to implement toll bypass for your own company
use.
Example. Chicago office and St. Louis office. PHB in Chicago office wants
to call Pizza Hut in St. Louis. You can set up bypass so the call
originates in Chicago, but enters the PSTN in St. Louis. Results in a local
call sourced from St. Louis office.
Side story. I was working for a customer in Phoenix with manufacturing
facilities 1/4 mile south of the border in Mexico. Another manufacture with
same lay out setup toll bypass between Mexico plant and Phoenix HQ. After 2
months Mexican telephone company realized LD bills went from
$20,000.00/month to $0.00/month. A representative of phone company and a
local cop went into the Mexican plant and said toll bypass was completely
illegal, and they must stop immediately. $5,000 later they were allowed to
keep toll bypass in place. How do we get bribe bypass???

Subject: OT: IP Telephony - Toll Bypass and Legal problems
Does anyone have any information on the legalalities for doing toll bypass
via ip telephony. Basically what I am planning is to have several Call
Manager clusters, Gatekeepers, and voice gateways. The voice gateways will
be about 1000 2600's spread across the nation connected to the local PSTN. I
want to route all company calls to the gateway that is local to the calling
area and have it leave the local pstn to avoid all long distance charges. A
TAC engineer at Cisco just told me that there are legal reasons preventing
this. Does anyone have any info on this. Also, if anyone has any experience
in doing a large AVVID implementation and would like to give some advice
that would be much appreciated. Thanks,
