About 18 months ago I tried to sell a simple point-to-point data circuit from the US to Canada. No problem, right? We're the two biggest trading partners in the world, right? WRONG! After three months I just gave up. Everyone said they thought they could do it but no one could.
This week Granite Telecom is announcing that they can do Canada:
Granite has completed agreements with the major Canadian telecommunications companies and is now supporting consolidation of POTS lines for Canadian locations of US based clients. As in the US, Granite pricing is a discount off the tariff rate or commercially published rate of local services. Canadian LD calls, as well as calls from Canada to the US, will be billed at $0.049 per minute.
Note that Canada has approximately 2 million business POTS lines. These agreements allow Granite and its Agent partners to bring more value to existing clients through further consolidation while providing an attractive addition to Granite’s value proposition for potential new users, creating new opportunity for Granite partners to increase their commissions.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding Canada consolidation with Granite Telecommunications.
