Has anyone actually read the tariff?

I recently became a CLEC and I've been pouring through Verizon tariffs
lately. From what I gather I can order a resold POTS line and DSL over
Resold lines from Verizon. Here in MA I get a 29.47% discount as a
CLEC. I'm still trying to find the tariff for the Verizon 'Freedom
plan' that allows unlimited local/long distance calling for
$54.50/month. I have been thinking that I might be able to beat
Verizon at their own game. I'll have to take on the complete billing
for the customer but with unlimited calling that shouldn't be too bad.

1) Order Verizon Freedom Plan service for a customer under the reseller
agreement ($54.50 - 29.47% = $38.44)
2) Order Verizon DSL over Resold lines (FCC Tariff #20) ($39.95 -
29.47% = $28.18)
3) Sell to the customer at the same rate as VOL ($89.50/month)

$89.50 - $38.44 - $28.18 = $22.88/month profit.

I already have a SCOPE bay built at the Verizon CO with the Redbacks &
ATM switch (SPFDMAWO). I have an OC-48 SONET ring built between that
CO and my POP. I can order a Verizon ATM DS-3 Port only for
$800/month, deliver it to my SCOPE bay and connect it to my SMS 1800.

The FCC #20 tariff for Verizon DSL lists Verizon DRL (DSL over Resold
Lines), They have a 5 year volume plan for this service. In theory I
can probably still get the marketing dollars for each DSL line I sell.

Has anyone else looked into this? What am I missing?
