For the US at least, currently just over 10% of phones (landline and mobile) are voip connected, carriers such as verizon, cingular, global crossing, qwest and others have connected their PSTN customers to a voip gateway, and rates are generally much better than if you call via the pstn for those destinations. Of course peering with those companies is a whole different deal, they arent required to peer, and generally they dont want every small wanna-be provider peering for super cheap next to free calling, but if you are reasonably sized it shouldnt be that difficult and you can then have a much lower termination cost. In many situations there are enum servers that are used to allow for lookups given that there are porting issues and such that need to be taken care of. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 The GPL is a software license not a religion _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
