Sure there are, Pat. Plenty of large businesses and especially call
centers have T spans direct to their tollfree carriers. If the
tollfree carrier has to use the PSTN to send the call the last mile,
they have to pay the LEC a piece of it.

If they can get the call from their closest terminal to the to the
customer by some other means (point to point T, microwave, tin can and
string, whatever) they don't have to give the LEC a cut and can pass
the savings along to the customer. If you can save 2 cents a minute
you only need 25,000 minutes a month to pay for a $500 t span.
