[asterisk-biz] How do ITSP's do it?

[Bruce Reeves]

Trixter,

Can you share with me how you looked that information up? Here is were I'm
getting lost I guess, if I bought a PRI from SBC and it came with 99 DID
numbers, I could resale those DIDs to my clients, but I would have to have a
a Asterisk server connected to the PRI and a high quality Internet
connection between clients and my server. But that does not seem to make any
sense to me when I compare that to what ITSP's are doing, they don't have
servers or switches in all these locations do they?
