Each operator must find a niche in the abundantly available market, as I a matter of experience. That is rule one. Rule two - a network operator cannot afford to offer free calls. Your switch would freeze within minutes and it would take up to a week or more to clean up the system memory depending on the size of subscriber base, and/or if you are cleaning manually, during which time your customers would be looking for service elsewhere.</div><div><br></div><div>We all learn through experience!</div><div><br></div><div>Hon.
