Yes I do think there will be an opportunity to partner with CLECs and also deploy our own network. In the end I think it will be a bit of a hybrid. For the fax service we would like to use are own NXXs But one area I see opportunity to work with CLECs is around Office 365. The local CLEC can provide SIP and network connectivity. We developed an appliance that would enable hosted PBX services to run out of the Office 365 data centers but the voice traffic be routed to the CLEC. I would think a win win.

ILEC interconnect still require plain old TDM . But you can partner with other CLECs like us to share cost of TDM connectivity, without committing to investment in TDM switch and transport. Thanks, Naush Good Evening Is it possible for a CLEC to get a SIP handoff from the LECs or is TDM still requested?
