Some carriers now do offer private SS7 instead of ISDN.  But there is 
absolutely no reason why you should be doing this with Asterisk. 
Asterisk-SS7 is quite tenuous at best.  Unless you have some specific 
reason to be using it, don't.

If your reason is TCAP (LNP, LIDB, CNAM), don't bother using Asterisk at 
all.
