But the small provider hosting the asterisk/ser are also subject to the 
intervention
and service interuptions, unless the asterisk box does not utilize ip 
transmission
to an additional terminator such as L3, or ...   In the US/NE Verizon 
owns the last
mile for non cable access (e.g. T3, T1, DSL, etc...) and Verizon is one 
of the companies
who feel they own the transmission as stated in the article I had 
referenced in a
previous post.

I agree if a small provider tunnels (vpn) to a client and the provider 
is exclusive
to multiple pots lines, there would be no (or few) issues, but that is 
not usually
the case, as I see it... maybe I'm wrong?

When it comes to the customer, they don't care if the breakdown is between
them and the small provider or between the small provider and 
terminator. All
they know is it don't work, and drop the small provider like a hot rock.

2.5 cents, sorry
