Calling the ISP Local POP

[View full size image]

As you can see, Fred can make a local call to the POP in Atlanta, and Barney can make a local call to the POP in Cincinnati. Both calls are free because the ISP thought ahead and located a POP in the local calling areas near Fred and Barney. All Fred and Barney need to make the call is a local telephone line. The ISP also charges a small fee for the service, which in most markets in the United States today costs $10 to $20 per month.
