Unfair competition on the telecommunication services market

Everyone should know that a minute is composed of sixty seconds. But correspondingly to IDT a lot of calling card companies only give customers 36 seconds in a minute. Lots of well-known corporations asserted that it can't be any upright rivalry if one of rivals has got unfair advantages before the start of a competition. IDT/UTA (Union Telecard Alliance) company made a resolve to sue the different corporations-providers of prepaid phone cards for the unjust rivalry conditions on a phone services market.

IDT/UTA had asserted that dissimilar its proper calling cards, those of many of their rivals deliver just about 60 percent of the minutes of telecommunications services proposed and promoted on voice help heard by clients in connection with calls performed by using the cards of accused and advertised by these competitors on radio, magazines, placard, global network, or another medium. Recently Total Call International and IDT/UTA was accused of unlawful actions by the group of phone companies which included IDT Telecom Inc. and LLC. Before that IDT/UTA intiated legal procedure against the group of defendants for three times. Epana Networks, Inc., Dollar Phone Corp. and related companies, and Locus Telecommunications, Inc are also attracted into the assize. IDT/UTA's suit against the residuary accused is still persisting in federal tribunal in Newark, New Jersey. Recently, one of softswitch providers made known his advanced terms of paying the phone facilities. From now on every user can singly determine the size of the minute, not to pay for the time he doesn't utilize. Moreover, they explained that it is rule on every prepaid calling cards systems. I didn't believe that it was true. But today when I saw IDT press releases, I realize that they were probably right.

That signifies that the international phone card, that is for $10.00, gives you 1000 minutes to your account! You need to look closely at the cards to make sure you're buying what you pay for. Customers would be given the units, they lost over a period of the unjust practices, as a encouragement. IDT/UTA hopes that if all the accused agree with putting into operation the new rules, that will be better for them, as the arm of law will try them more softly. To set up the level of paying field all the companies, that provide the telephone facilities have to promote good practices and standards. The mechanisms, that can precisely examine all the actions connected to the pay beforehand cards, will be developed by that corporations. All the corporations reached the acceptance that every of them has to do its best to solve this objective as soon as possible.
