I totally agree with Paul.
If we can manage to do it in a siple way with a non-proftable matter it could be the way to get VoIP a great push !! Doing it we can finally have a good quality, good pricing and most of all ... Maybe good support.
Indeed we will need someone to manage that and since we have nothing but great developers here ... We could make it happen faster than a few here belive.
A few thing we might consider:
- It has to be SIP and IAX and not only AIX.
- It has to be web-based (the menagement and the buying)
- It shouldn�t have minimum amount higher than 100 bucks so we can have everybody using it.
Please count with BESTCOm GROUP for that.

Best way is to setup a non-profit corp which is a co-operative association. The members pay initiation fees and membership dues. The association is the wholesale buyer that resells to members. That means vendors are only dealing with one larger customer for billing and collection purposes. The members can authorize the association to sell things like surplus minutes or no-longer-needed hardware to non-members.Hello
We want to organize a group of service providers to get better bargain power
on rates. The target is to have >500000 minutes per month. If you like to
work together on this project, please send email to me off-line!
thank you! steven
This is all very do-able if lower-volume users are serious about getting good rates, LNP, E911 and other services. All we need is an honest lawyer to be the trustee for the initial funds.
I don't see why such an organization could not apply for CLEC status, either.
