[Asterisk-Users] RFI: Creating a database of DID providers

[Dan Adams]

What type of information would you be looking for from the DID providers? 
I know the company that I am with works with one DID provider, but might 
be interested in expanding beyond that. I would also recommend/request 
that the database have info in it letting people know about the outbound 
call providers. I am not sure if that is a common idea to have an * server 
running outbound calling lines to many different phone markets, let alone 
4+ area codes, but it is something I am involved with.
