Yes, either they will work with Targus, Versign, etc who do commercial CNAM hosting, or they work with their CLEC partner who would presumably already have such an agreement in place. It's my understanding that with an LOA from your CLEC or ILEC (kind of the opposite of the LOA you need to port a number), you can have your own CNAM records hosting with one of the companies listed above and make money. We're talking a fraction of a cent per call so unless you have many DIDs and many more calls, it's not usually worthwhile. Most smaller ITSPs either don't know how this or don't have the volume to make it feasible. In Canada, we just include the name in the SS7 signaling on a per-call basis and bypass this whole mess :) Best regards, -- Trevor Peirce Digital Conceptions Canada http://www.digitalcon.ca 1-888-606-3030 / 250 483-0386 _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
