[asterisk-biz] providing hosted PBX solution to businesses - looking for internet providers and DIDs

[Apa Minerala]

We are roughly in the same position as Jacob here, except based in Montreal. And hate sending business to someone else.We are continuously looking for internet providers in Montreal, Toronto and Calgary to send them some business.Also if someone knows a little more about becoming a CLEC in Canada ( except what the CRTC website tells us ), please share with other!
Brgds,
Tudor
