<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt;">The local Telco’s have control over the local phone numbers but they make share/collocation/LNP agreements with other carriers and VOIP interconnect carriers so numbers get swapped/leased and rented between different vendors. As a VOIP interconnected carrier this allows us access to 90% of US number markets. If there is a market that we need that one of our partners does not have we try to partner with a player in that region or someone who has. If that does not work we can then collocate equipment with that local carrier to get access. This then extends our network reach to that region. The goal is to achieve the highest quality lowest cost routes to regions our customers are willing to pay for.</span></p>

Hello Eric,<br />
<br />
That is also a good idea. I am new to the VoIP world an do not know<br />
who the major players are however,<br />
will catch on really quick as my background is enhanced neuro<br />
networks. I understand all the theory<br />
behind compressions, codecs etc... Just trying to apply it in the real<br />
world. That being said, I was<br />
under the impression that only the local Telcos have control over the<br />
phone numbers.I take it that this<br />
is not correct?<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
<br />
Berry.<br />
