[Asterisk-biz] DIDx.org is competition for Arbinet me thinks :)

Thu Jul 28 11:32:55 MST 2005

Dear Alex,

Thank You for the email.

The service was launched on testing 10 days a go, and i think it was ready for 
testing. THe routing only started 10 days a go, we were taking signups and adding 
did's before that.

Beta Launch is finally on 1st of August, when we will start billing.

I have always given people a FRIENDLY reply, but some take it as a non 
professional reply, so i cant help anything on that one.

2. The cost of didx member ship is 20$ a month, which will be refunded against 
billing for that month if there is a billing.

3. We will also markup the pricing, that people will sell us to, ie if you sell to us for 
5$, we will sell it for 6$ a month.

Thats the business model for now. They are all answered on the faq page.
