Data Center Raid About Unpaid Telco Fees

Posted by timothy on Saturday April 4, 2009 @08:30AM from the that's-what-they-want-you-to-believe dept.

craig writes "CBS11 News reports that the raid on Core IP networks is in the result of an investigation into unpaid telco access fees paid by CLECs and VoIP carriers to terminate calls on their networks. They also report that this raid is linked to the March 12th raid on Crydon Technology's datacenter, which also hosted VOIP providers. Anyone in the telco business will tell you access fees to other carriers are a total mess and lots of carriers have unpaid balances out there. It gives you the feeling that the FBI is acting as a collection agency for AT&T and Verizon."

What is this about, really? by Looce · 2009-04-04 08:53 · Score: -1, Troll

If it's not about video piracy, what tells me it's really about telco fees? What's next, they'll say they want to recover a lost human embryo mistakenly packaged inside a server rack?

While poignant, I hardly think a quote from damn near a century ago is particularly relevant. You might as well be quoting Shakespeare.
