We avoided building our own Telecom MLM company, because, frankly, rates and commissions were just not good enough to develop an MLM program which was fair to all, and which required no money from agents who joined. Until September of 1998, we employed a commission model which is "traditional" in the telecom industry, focusing on high commissions for direct sales, but reserving little for override commissions. New tariffs have been introduced now, which has changed that; and we set out to build the world's best telecom MLM company.
