It sounds like they get ~$0.04/min for every user. I bet that adds up!

Back of the envelope calculation:

Avg of 30 min conference calls x say 1 million users per month = $1.2 million a month, or $14.4 million a year

These sort of rates were real in the past, but regulatory changes have decreased them dramatically. In general, much less than $0.01/mi at wholesale rates.
