Resellers Hireing Resellers?

This puzzles me more and more. Even with one reseller level you'll be competing with VOIPo at $12/month (and not with Vonage at $24/month as Tim suggested in his price breakdown) who already has support lines, all-inclusive services, pretty nice store front (lest you forget about lousy vpanel). Even plain reselling of VOIPo service is dangerous because, if you believe all those reviews on dslreports or here, the biggest reason why people are drawn to VOIPo is its quality of support. Not quality of service or technical reliability (which was kind of flaky and still brings up downtime report threads here and there), but support. Resellers will have hard time beating that, especially since VOIPo won't be offering support to reseller's customers.

You can do a super-nice job with your web site, like voip.ms did, you can advertise BYOD access that is denied by VOIPo, or VOIPo can end its 99/year promotion and never offer discounted renewals. If not, I just don't see why people would buy service at 2nd reseller level, instead of going directly to VOIPo.
