For clients investigating the prospects of offering long-distance service, JSI will provide complete financial analysis and business case development for the long-distance resale business. We’ll help you find a wholesale toll provider and oversee the project from beginning to end. JSI can also provide seasoned and proven assistance with your marketing programs for the rollout and further development of the long-distance operation. In addition, JSI will assist in developing the end-user customer support and interfaces for service management with the wholesale vendor.

Through the years, the equal-access process has been most significant in getting independent service providers into the inter-LATA long-distance arena. More recently, intra-LATA equal access (2-PIC) is also having a similar impact on independents’ decisions to enter the business — especially in light of RBOC reluctance to serve as "the carrier of last resort."
