"We provide US48 termination, blended rate for 1 MOU and above is .008 with 6/6." What is 6/6? 2/3 devil? Normally I would take that to be minimum 6 second billiing and billed in 6 seconds increments. What is US48? Contentinal US, lower 48, all states by Alaska and Hawaii. What is blended? What you do with ice, alchohol, and a mixer

They could charge you in each rate separately which will be more accurate but harder to manage. Blended means they will average the rates based on normal calling patterns. Blended is easier to manage because it is one rate but if all of your calls are going to residential customers, which are almost all RBOC owned customers you can do better with an unblended rate> > What is MOU?Minutes Of Use.> What is NPANXX breakout?My guess is they can get your DIDs from all over the country.> _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > Asterisk-Users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users-- Matthew S.

US48 generally refers to the 48 states in our mainland. This excludes Alaska and Hawaii. -----Original Message----- From: Don Pobanz [mailto:asterisk@hastingsutilities.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 10:45 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] US telco lingo Eric Bishop wrote:> Could someone explain to a non-US dummy the following phrases I have > > What is US48? >I assume by US48 they mean RJ48 which is a 8 conductor modular jack with signal from the phone company on 1&2 and signal to the phone company on 4&5.

Not quite. It refers to the contiguous 48 States that make up the US mainland. Alaska and Hawaii, whilst States, are separated by either another country or large amounts of ocean. Places like Key West whilst technically are over 50 miles from the mainland are considered part of the Lower 48/US48 Mark (a Brit whom lives in the US) On Wed, 2006-05-24 at 12:45 -0500, Don Pobanz wrote:> Eric Bishop wrote: > > Could someone explain to a non-US dummy the following phrases I have > > > > What is US48? > > > > I assume by US48 they mean RJ48 which is a 8 conductor modular jack with > signal from the phone company on 1&2 and signal to the phone company on > 4&5. > > Don Pobanz > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > Asterisk-Users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > >
"US48" almost certainly refers to the 48 contiguous states, as
previously
suggested, *not* to a modular jack.
There are, however, several versions of RJ48 (not often seen in the real
world) specified in the Universal Service Ordering Code ("USOC").
Wikipedia has a fairly useful introduction:

I use to work for a local phone company where we regularly did T1 installs and the only 48 we used was part of a rj48 jack.
