Leaky PBX
With a small satellite dish on the roofs of its offices in country A and B and a little capacity on a transponder, a company can become a small-scale international carrier. It receives the calls on its PBX in country A, sends them over the satellite link to country B, and sends the calls out into the public telephone network of country B through its PBX there. The PBX in country B leaks the calls from country A into the network in country B, disguising them as local calls.
The trunk route does not have to be a satellite. It can be a dedicated telephone circuit belonging to the company or even a data link carrying VoIP traffic.
