We do not plan on taking anything, CF. You and I have the right to be a
member of this list. It is a business list re: Asterisk. We are in that
business. Muneeb shared this proposal for solving a huge problem for many:
porting DID easily to DIDX, and routing the DID over SIP, IAX2 and/or H323
using DIDX. Many have taken advantage and are happy with it.

"We" here is defined possibly as you and and your friends who feel the same
way you do. It is not the universe. If it were, then the 6400+ IP
communications companies participating in buy/sell DID on DIDX wouldn't be
doing so.

$5.00 to port the DID, $3.90 setup fee, $3.90 monthly fee for most of the
USA. USD applies. Thanks for the suggested correction.

The offer for 5000 included minutes with 10 channels or unlimited mins with
2 channels, is correct, sir. We have ported several 100 already. Not a brag,
just a fact. Since we are in a position to to do this to make life easier
for many in the IP communications industry, we are doing it.

He meant we are "adding an automated process." It will be available in every
DIDX member's dashboard and also on a special LNP page at didx.net.

With respect, we appreciate your questions and suggestions to improve our
original proposal to the Asterisk-Biz list.
