I don't know the financial breakdown, but it's worth noting that Bandwidth.com — the company behind Republic Wireless — actually runs the VoIP backbone that powers Twilio, Google Voice, and other services. So I'd imagine they get a better rate :)
- colinsidoti 15y agoVery interesting, I had no idea. A little more digging brings me here: http://bandwidth.com/about/read/verizonAgreement.html http://bandwidth.com/about/read/verizonAgreement.html "Bandwidth.com, Inc., a privately held telecommunications company in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, announced today that it has signed a commercial deal with the Verizon wireline companies under which the parties agree to terminate each other's VoIP traffic at a rate of $0.0007 per minute." This is for landlines, but still a much lower number than I was expecting to see.
