>From what I read about a year ago was that it was a carrier hosted
solution that actually controlled the ss7 switching at the exchange
(basically no call costs from tromboning, and was only implemented into
an ip-centrex or hosted call centre application.

Are you saying that enterprises can buy something similar and control
the carriers switching?

Geotel is a company that Cisco bought which provides call control across
geographically dispersed locations.  The simplest application is being
able to query call queue status at another location.  For example, a
call comes in and can be sent to one of three call center locations.
Geotel can query each location to see who is the least busy for this
type of call.  Traditionally it has been VERY expensive.  

We provide some primitive Geotel functions in-the-cloud right now.  For
example, we can know how many live calls are going to a location before
we send the call.  We can set thresholds (e.g. if a location A has over
100 concurrent calls send them to location B).  Geotel can theoretically
provide this and carry it further.  I think there is some nice
enterprise reporting that can come from the Geotel as well.
