Client's business has been screwed no matter what. Even if he go to court, fight and get the number it will be at least few days if not weeks. Customer hate you if they fail to reach the service on the number for more than 5-6 times. Now the option is to pick the lesser evil. New marketing

That would depend on where the number went back to. Underlying carrier? Pooling? Another level of ITSP resale? Number block ownership and routing is assigned. Carriers can't just pick a number and start providing it. Kind of like IP addresses and BGP. On Jan 3, 2009, at 8:03 AM, Chris Mason

I don't know if I would make the comparison to IP and BGP... It's widely known (and demonstrated) that very, very few (if any) upstreams filter and/or verify route advertisements. It's really a mess. The internet is one broken mess that now makes fidonet look simple.
