Actually your right if you know the process and know what your doing it can be fairly simple. But for someone starting out and never have gone thru the process it can be a bit of a nightmare of an experience. I remember thinking a couple times why do I need this. But that time has passed and I know understand it. -carlos -----Original Message----- From: Paul Timmins [mailto:paul at timmins.net] Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 7:34 PM To: Carlos Alcantar Cc: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] good to see this going Heh, it's all a matter of knowing the process. I can't say we've ever had to take more than a week to get anything, from point codes, OCNs, or even CO prefixes. I've gotten CLLI codes in a day, too. Not all of the above are free, but if you've got your amex all warmed up the processes are somewhat trivial. CLEC approval and ICA negotiation on the other hand, you'd have a point. -Paul Carlos Alcantar wrote:

Dealing with getting codes ect on the telco side makes getting ips and asn like a walk in the park.

So who's had the good time of having to deal with getting codes from neustar/telcordia ect.

I'm not a CLEC, but have been privy to the process.
