How much and how soon? Keep it short and simple, we are very interested
in obtaining SS7 support, very interested.

It hasn't been announced. It is still in testing. It is, however, 
functional. It is providing non-fee paying service somewhere in Europe, 
while its stability and reliability are being evaluated. What happens 
next is under discussion. Many places demand it be approved. Approval 
would cost upwards of $100,000 and the approval may not be portable to 
the various markets wanting this thing.

All that work for a chocolate bar. No way :-)

Seriously, I have never found bounties on these things to be of any 
interest. If you offer a bounty for something of modest size - something

that is at most a few days work - it sometimes gets people interested in

doing the work. A bounty for something as complex as SS7 will never 
reach the level where it justifies the man years of effort. I'd be 
interested in hearing of any examples where this has not been true.

Steve
