Well right. There's 38746546574 VoIP carriers in Chicago's 358 LATA. 38746546571 of them only cover the contiguous AT&T portion. Only say 3 cover the remaining AT&T and Frontier portions of that LATA. Obviously all of these numbers were made up (other than the LATA number), but I think I got the point across.
Most places where WISPs aren't already doing VoIP, VoIP coverage is difficult to obtain because of a lack of coverage with national providers. Take Elizabeth, IL for example. It hooks to the Freeport, IL tandem. Level 3 does have a presence in Freeport, but last I checked, their VoIP coverage did not extend there. However, "local" companies BitWise and Aero are both there. Both will sell you VoIP service, and you'll be hard pressed to find either on an aggregator's network. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com On 11/29/2010 9:25 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: > Our provider has a dozen carriers or more, I expect others are comparable. > > Josh Luthman > Office: 937-552-2340 > Direct: 937-552-2343 > 1100 Wayne St > Suite 1337 > Troy, OH 45373 > > > > On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 10:17 PM, Mike Hammett<[email protected]> > wrote: >> Porting only works if the receiving LEC has the ability to receive ports >> from that rate center.
