maybe once the FCC ruling goes a little further, right now its limited
to sbc only.

Basically to get numbers you have to have a OCN and a CLLI code.  If you
are going to interconnect with SS7 you need a point code. (required for
number pooling, where you get only 1000 numbers instead of 10,000, which
is the prefered way to do it).

To get that under the current regime you basically have to be a LEC/IXC.
NANPA wants a minimum of 66 days to assign numbers and you have to have
them entered in BRRDS which they will do for $35 first year less next
year (there is no charge for exchanges from NANPA but resellers may
charge you since its not a trivial undertaking to get numbers, and if
you wanted all 50 states you would have to be approved in all 50 states
by each state PUC/PSC/BPU whatever they happen to call it).

Hope this helps :)
