Ok.. I'm going to have a stab at this.. I'd like to have some kind of
search mechanism similar to that at www.voipreview.org where you can select
country and area (by state/city? or would people prefer by areacode?) then
generate a list of all providers than can supply DIDs in that area,
together with setup/rental charges, per minute charges, etc.

Before I go reinvent the wheel totally from scratch, is there anyone out
there that has data in electronic form that they use already for this sort
of thing? I'm looking for country code listings, area code listings,
NPA-NXX to city name listings etc.

Replies to the list, or forward data files to web-dids at ivrl.com

Cheers
