There are about 1200 VoIP Providers.
Many are doing wholesale targeting the ISP market, because Retail is too
hard and / or expensive, unless you segment the market and do niche
selling.
There are LOTS of softswitches.
The truth is that Asterisk is a fine softswitch since most VoIP services
do not see more than 300 simultaneous calls.
At 4 to 1, that's 1200 lines. That would make you Big.
On a good Proliant server, you could easily run 300 calls.
Of course, your router would have to be able to handle 300 I/O requests
from the switch + all the other I/O requests, so you would need a strong
box.

What's interesting is that their primary focus is on independent ISPs /
WISPs / etc

I'd be interested to know if anyone has used their soft switch.
Apparently all the pieces bundled together can be purchased for $66,000.
That's a very attractive price for a soft switch of this quality. - cw
