Seems straightforward enough of a term for me. Telephone numbers 
themselves don't have an actual cost, and in fact generate revenue for 
the LEC. Places that charge for example $10 a number are not wholesale 
rates. Places that cover a reasonable cost for LNP fees, cost recovery 
for maintenance/carrying cost/billing, a reasonable profit and expect 
you to know what you're doing. A true wholesale rate would be something 
you could make a reasonable profit with selling retail services to end 
users with.

The cost <http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/cost.html> of a 
good sold by a wholesaler 
<http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/wholesaler.html>. The 
wholesaler will usually charge 
<http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/charge.html> a price 
<http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/labor-rate-price-variance.html> 
somewhat higher than he or she paid to the producer 
<http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/producer.html>, and the 
retailer <http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/retailer.html> 
who purchases 
<http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/purchase.html> the goods 
<http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/goods.html> from the 
wholesaler will increase the price again when they sell 
<http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/sell.html> the good in 
their store <http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/store.html>.
