If you're interested in receiving traffic for those locations, you could
talk to ITXC.  They mostly sell H.323 termination though other people's
"POP" sites around the world.  They may need more termination in those
areas.

If so, they are very well versed in this type of thing, and could
probably help you out (not just in getting your proosed plan running,
but possibly making a good bit of money on top of that).

I don't know anyone in the reseller/sales division, only their
engineers, but you might want to give them a try.  The could become a
very good customer/peer of yours if you happen to be terminating in the
right spots.

FYI, I don't see much on their web site about becoming a "SNOC" as they
call it, but I'd try just giving sales or a general number a call and
see who you can get transferred to.

Best of luck,
