Hello VoiceOp'rs In 2015 the FCC released an order which allows non-CLEC VoIP providers to get numbers directly from the NANP: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-releases-voip-direct-access-numbering-repor... This document describes in great detail, well, not much; it doesn?t really get to the heart of the matter ? the *how*. I can think of several ways it * *could** be done, but don't know how it actually **is** done, Is anyone out there doing this today or was part of the trial and willing to discuss and/or maybe point me toward more engineering-y documentation or maybe even (*gasp*) a reference architecture? Thanks, Pete

It remains on the list of dreams deferred, aspirations unrealised, goals unaccomplished, and ambitions foreclosed. On Thu, Mar 09, 2017 at 04:04:17PM -0500, Pete Eisengrein wrote:

I only have direct experience with the Host Switch offering from Inteliquent. They can provide IP handoff from their CLEC to VoIP carriers, or to other CLECs depending on the LEC. CLECs lose any CABS revenue, but that's nearly as dead a Betamax anyway. You may still need to sign an ICA with the LEC even if you aren't directly connected to them. We've had a mostly positive experience moving one of our CLEC markets to this. It's much more cost-effective for us to have a single private IP interconnect with Inteliquent than to keep our own LEC interconnects, cross connects, SS7 links, etc. They can also failover traffic to our public networks, in multiple data centers. The biggest problem we had was not Inteliquent's fault. We changed the SHA on our existing CLLI and many carriers failed to update routing on the effective date. In hindsight, we probably should have used brand new POI instead of migrating existing ones. I'd love to hear from you all if there was any other way to have avoided that disruption.

Running a CLEC of one's own with a purely SIGTRAN link through someone else's physical POI has been possible for a long time, and many large CLECs provide this service to small CLECs, particularly ones which exist for some narrow purpose like providing the back side of a specific VoIP product. I guess the difference is now you can do this without actually obtaining CLEC status as such? The other steps are a pain (mainly ICA), but not having to petition the state PUC certainly cuts some of the work out. I guess. -- Alex -- Alex Balashov | Principal | Evariste Systems LLC Tel: +1-706-510-6800 / +1-800-250-5920 (toll-free) Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.csrpswitch.com/

The advantage to VoIP is cost, assuming you don't need to order dial tone to anyone through the LEC. $375 per state CLEC OCN adds up, versus one nationwide IPES OCN, and you're already paying $950 per LATA for POI CLLI either way.
