BTL does get paid for incoming international calls, roughly $.28/min minus any carrier's mark up. The point is when we use a VoIP phone to receive incoming international calls to a US#, BTL doesn't get paid. And they shouldn't, VoIP is a data service, and we all pay for our DSL data dearly.

The more intensive your DATA requirements become, the higher the service you will get from BTL. The DSL service is the source of revenue and taxes, BTL/PUC have just gotten greedy... and are trying to confuse you.
