I forgot this time, My Apologies.

The fact that you asked the question about how many users you could
support on a T1 means you really need to go study standard telephony
service for a while. This is regardless of Voip or not.

Several books and many hours to familiarize yourself with telephony,
then you need to get a lawyer to tell you what your local and federal
laws will require of you.

Yep, but your local regulators will be your biggest hurdle.
