[asterisk-biz] NPA-NXX to City, State Database

[henry at henrythebig.com]

Hi,

I'm a carrier and I have 900 numbers :)
We need all possible info about a DID in real time before to serve the caller because we can't bill some of new telco (like VoIP clients).
I will recommend to contact Telecordia to check on prices.

Best regards,

Chris Hariga

Do you know something I don't?  Access to "porting database" (NPAC) is 
not simply or easily or cheaply obtained from Neustar, especially if you 
are not a carrier.  This applies to their LNPoIP (chiefly over ENUM) 
"SIP-IX" product too.

In my case, I would've had to sign NDAs with the seven NPAC territories, 
pay a setup fee of about $2500, and have a monthly commitment of about 
$250 dips @ $.003/dip.  Also, I would need to present evidence of 
general commercial liability insurance with policy limits at somewhere 
over a million (I don't quite remember) plus worker's comp insurance 
where applicable.

Needless to say, that's going to be a no-go.
