Just like NMS's, 40 years of the Internet and we still can't bill as
easily as we should.

There is also a correlation between the types of customers that keep
your phones off the hook, and their contract value to you. In almost all
cases, that contract value is eroded after 10 minutes with them on the
phone, because soon, they will need a truck roll, or an escalation. Or both.
