Re: [VoiceOps] Future of the Traditional PSTN vs VOIP and VoLTE

Not us. Is this topic interesting enough to everyone to try and formalize and develop? (i.e. take it off the email list and do something more)? Maybe meet up at SIPNOC? (though that's 1/2 year away). We'd be happy to host something (say, a two-day meeting) here sooner, if there's interest. On

Re: [VoiceOps] Future of the Traditional PSTN vs VOIP and VoLTE

This is a slight topic change, but at SIPNOC for the last few years, FCC and FCC-connected people have come and talked about the plans for transitioning. My general sense is that the they're considering adding something like an IP address to the NPAC data structure. There's a new IETF working
