If you are setting up a VoIP service provider, I would be concerned  
about the service uptime using the EC2 cluster, it is after all still  
in beta and had a number of outages over the past year.

Have you considered other hosting solutions?  There are a number of  
high quality hosting offerings, that offer 24/7 phone support, without  
requiring any long term contracts.
