John,
In as much as there is an appropriate "*" place to discuss this, it
would be on the asterisk-biz mailing list, accessible from the digium
web page.
Since it's not an *-specific question, -biz may or may not want to talk
about it, but they'll come closer than -users.

I'd like to set up an * box and sell calling cards and long distance.
At what point am I an internet applications provider and at what point
am I a telco. Where can I find where the line is drawn?

Hi John
That all depends on what country you are in. Where are you? Here in Turkey =
to=20
sell calling cards you need to be a licensed telco which has the following=
=20
fees:
50,000 Euro Government License
250,000 Euro Letter of Credit to the government
500,000 Euro Letter of Credit to Turkish Telekom
6,000 Euro connection fee per E1 x 8 cities (Minimum)
10,000 Euro for C7 (SS7) interconnection x 2
300 Euro monthly fee per DID (This is NOT a typo!)
0.05 Euro interconnection fee per minute on all calls
+ 18% KDV (VAT)
+ 25% Special communications tax
You can see from this that you need close to 1 million Euro just for licens=
e=20
and interconnection fees before buying any equipment. Given the cost of=20
C7/SS7 equipment and the requirement for 8 locations you need another=20
250K-500K worth of equipment just for basic operation..
I hope whichever country you are in is not quite so expensive ;-)
Cheers from Istanbul
