Here in Spain the telco's started to offer voip services recently, but they
are stoppin' because what people involved in voip is doing is lauch among
them voip operators (in the Asterisk-ES mailing list we are aprox. 6 ITSP's)
and buy/sell/trade with DID's in packs for a cheaper price.
Curretly some of us are thinking in relaunch the netural point idea, as an
example that signaling between well organized ITSP's is enough without the
SS7 services used separately per ITSP.
Traditional telco's aren't having so much sucess. An example is Jazztel, the
4th operator in Spain, that definitively closed last month their
VoIP-for-customers service line. Now it's focusess in the "triple-play" and
business clients (wholesale).
