The selected international carriers are selected so that termination fees of the selected international carriers are either less than or equal to fees received by a provider of the platform from the local exchange carrier. A method includes selecting a local exchange contractor, providing a platform to forward telephone calls received by the local exchange contractor, and selecting many international carriers. The international carriers are selected based on international termination fees being less than fees received by a platform provider from the local exchange carrier.
