I agree "caller pays" is irrelevant. The US customer is used to set price for certain number of minutes and I do not think the market would react well to "caller pays" being imposed on it. Americans are used to fixed monthly fees for budgeting purposes. If the purpose is to encourage greater growth of cell phone use, then I believe Leap cricket type service is the better way to go in this country. I am not even sure the FCC has the authority to impose caller pays. If the intent is to handicap cell carriers versus wire carriers, then why in the world would the cell carriers accept it?
