I work for a CLEC.  For our VoIP service we offer the customer a choice of how 
we handoff to the customer.  Customers can pick POTS, PRI, CT1, or SIP handoff. 
 Calls are SIP from our IAD/CPE device at the customer (usually an Adtran box 
w/SIP) all the way to our core.   Many carriers do this, there is nothing 
special about it.
