[asterisk-biz] CNAM lookup service - alternative to got-name.com

[Daryl Jones]

My name is Daryl Jones and I own a regional ISP in the San Francisco 
area known as the San Mateo Regional Network, Inc.  We've been using 
Asterisk for about four years, and had been using got-name.com to lookup 
caller-id names since last November.  As some of you know, got-name.com 
is no longer answering queries. This forced us to find an alternative 
source for CNAM data.

We're considering offering a service that is similar to what 
got-name.com was providing.  Is there interest among the Asterisk 
community for this?  The cost would be $0.015 per lookup with a $10.00 
minimum per month.  We can return the name, or the name and address. 
(NANP numbers only.)

The interface in Asterisk can be as simple as one line in your 
extensions.conf file.

exten => s,n,agi(agi://HOSTNAME?auth=USERNAME:PASSWORD)

We're ready to offer the service for free on a small scale for testing 
purposes.  Contact me if you're interested.
