D Channel CallBack is an essential feature in Europe
because of the outrageous pricing we have on leased lines.
And because of the Radio Frequencies Limitation enforced
by the different governement of Europe.
Ok our governement are stupid and should let the freemarket
do its work , but you see French Governement is BOTH
stupid and self centered as well as completely without a clue
about what is good for the industry and economics.
Otherwise we would not have this discussions
Another fact is that in France France Telecom the ONLY
TELCO so far ( read : the TELCO which has the MONOPOLY )
is trying to slow down the market by putting all its strength
in trying to control the ART decisions putting pressure on the
Telecommunication Ministry. And so until 1998 and well after
IMHO we will be stuck with stupid regulations on telecom and
frequencies.
so D CHANNEL CALLBACK IS IMPORTANT
