1. That article is 2 and 1/2 years old. A lot may have changed since then.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Perhaps, but no matter what, you cannot access a Telecom network subscriber without negotiating some agreement with the subscriber's network (or with someone else who has access to them). And if a subscriber network takes money for inbound access (and at least in Israel - they do...), if you want to send traffic to them FOR FREE, well, someone will have to make an agreement. It doesn't matter how old the article is.<br>

So far the cellular companies always charged from their peers the maximum possible by law. So to get there, it would probably require the MOC to decide that. <br>
