[asterisk-users] SIPBroker vs SIPgate

[SIP]

Seriously, from our experience, SIPBroker IS the best way to interact 
with all the open networks. For any closed networks, you might create 
special rules for interaction, but that would rely on setting up a deal 
with the respective destination network to actually ALLOW your calls.

There are some pay per play networks that do peering automagically (such 
as XConnect), but it's a cost per connected call (granted, a tiny one, 
but still a cost), and it won't guarantee you any better connectivity to 
a closed network than, say, SIPBroker.
