Conversely, I'd be happy pursuing a Residential only market where I pay a $10 flat monthly fee, and charge $15 to my customers. VOIPo is then taking the greater risk, but then VOIPo has the wider law of averages to make such a thing possible. Your auditing process could pass alerts to Resellers, and Resellers could do the footwork. The Reseller website could even push $20/month, and have special sales to get in at $15.
The only way I see Business accounts working is to charge by the minute. With a mark-up, I'm not sure how much of a market would exist. The Residential market is still a huge area that should keep on growing. Residential looks like the way to begin unless the Reseller is well connected with industry, and already has a physical presence in their factories and offices.
Just my 2 cents.

I used to be an authorized dealer for majors wireless carriers in NY, so i used to deal with customers complaining about their bill. when they used to offer 600min and unlimited N+W. so i know how ppl usage can be. I sold wireless service for about 7 years.
Now here is my home usage and i don't used my home phone because i have unlimited in my wireless phone plus i own a Magic jack too.
I have a teenager daughter that only used the phone when she's not in school or texting with her cellphone.

This month so far
From 02/01/2010 to 02/05/2010
Total Number of Minutes: 1069:55
Total Number of Calls: 75
This is what they offer:
Unlimited calling to the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico
Thirteen calling features for no extra charge including caller ID, call waiting, 3-way calling & voicemail
Now with Optimum Voice you can add a phone line to your existing service for just $14.95 more per month.
looking at the high usage:
135 hours a month X 60 Min = 8,100 minutes a month
135 hours a month is about 5 Hours a day for 3 kids + wife.
I been waiting for the reseller program for more than a year but I would like to see an unlimited plan for resellers to be safe.
I'm sure a lot of ppl used that much minutes.

I've reconsidered my strategy, and think I have a good case for pushing a limited minute plan. Something that can contrast with the Vonage 500 minute plan.
I just wish there was forthcoming an API that could be used to get my key data from VOIPo, and even better, would let me place orders through web automation too. Baby steps ...
Too many people offering Unlimited, and By-the-minute. I want to be different.
Currently I am researching small business advice in MI,
and have begun a website design using Drupal.
Look like it will use Drupal/Ubercart/Secure Pages, and Authorize.net

optonline .net / cablevision .com offers small business and homes unlimited, since they offer internet service the phone is cheaper and the extra line too.
I need to offer something equal or competitive in NY/NJ/PA/MA/CT/ Long Island market.
I understand that i can target the low uses customers but i don't want to deal with overcharges.
Does the VOIPO reseller panel can be configure to stop at let say 500 min, to avoid problems?
thanks
