Chapter 170 Joint Venture Company

Cheap by 40%~80%? Both Dean and Durell were shocked by this data.

They had considered the low cost of network telephony, but never imagined it would be that much lower.

"Has MCI done a financial budget for this business?" Such detailed data didn't seem like a mere oral estimate.

"Of course," Dave did not deny it, "Don't forget that MCI has its own fiber-optic lines, and we have also procured some Teams software."

"Thank you~" Encountering his own clients, Dean didn't forget to express his gratitude.

However, at that moment, what Dean was pondering was still that 40%~80%. The cost of long-distance phone calls in America had always been very expensive, hardly changing throughout the years.

This had to do with the huge initial investment costs and, of course, with the monopolistic nature of the phone companies.

"Dave, I need more specific data. How much cheaper is long-distance network telephony compared to traditional telephony?" Dean's eyes flickered, wondering about something.
