Another interesting factor to consider is the competition that all these services will have with players that have already been in the marketplace for quite sometime and offer really dirt-cheap LD via toll bypass (i.e. by using IP networks at the core). Even if the edge is not IP, users can always dial a local access number with a password and then enter a code before getting LD access. But Primus did beat out the competition in bragging rights to be the first one to enter the market. === Disclaimer - the views expressed here are my own and do not represent those of my employer.
