Telecom*USA does indeed provide operator services.  I spoke with a
representative at the ICA show, and he verified this (not only that,
he gave me sales literature).  He claimed that they were very
sensitive to the overcharges that have characterized the industry, and
claimed that, as corporate policy, they did not follow suit.  I have
no data to validate this claim, however.
