>But the critical part of all this is hanging up within 6 seconds. This is the one thing that hurts the telco knowingly supporting this
You should explain why that number is critical, what happens before, what happens after.

The robodialers are so stupid, though. They don't want to pay for the second 6 seconds, and will hang up quickly. So intermediary companies keep the calls open to keep their stats good, then charge the dialer guys more.
Telecom is filled with actors that can't handle basic algebra.

I see things like this in telecom too much. Where people are mathematically going to lose, guaranteed, but prefer a certain billing because it's easier to understand, or looks cheaper. While this is understandable for an SMB that isn't in the telecom business, I've seen big names take these same deals. And I've seen the other end: they 100% are losing a few % in doing so.
