Network Resources and USSD

And again there is the resource overload argument.

“USSD uses SS7 resources in the network and simply speaking they are the same SS7 resources used for call handling (fast channel) so the main issue is to sacrifice the valuable call signaling resources”

IF ANYONE HAS EVIDENCE OF SOME KIND OF THE RESOURCE PROBLEM WITH USSD PLEASE LET ME KNOW, either as an answer to this question on LinkedIn, or as a response to this post.

Although many people mention this — “USSD ties up valuable resources of the network” — I yet struggle to understand WHAT THE ISSUE IS and where is evidence? Or is it some sort of myth or unjustified fear that does not exist in reality like a worry that you will be hit by a meteorite. It can happen theoretically! But it does not happen in one’s lifetime.
