Hello All, After a wonderful conversation with Mr. O'Shield he asked me
to inform the Asterisk community that we run an SS7 network with Los
Angeles Area trunks and DID's that we can supply with <b><u>F</u><u>ixed
costs and NO per minute charges</u></b> on our inbound trunks. Calls
include caller ID. Also we can supply Co-Location, Power, and a fixed
amount of non shared Internet bandwidth. This can be used for Calling
card providers or call centers. We are tied onto the Verizon Backbone.
Please call Michael Schelin at ShellTel 626-814-2354 for more
information. <br>
<br>
<br>

Understand that your supplier will be paying by the minute.
<br>
<br>
What you want is your suppliers worst nightmare. Fixed income and
variable (increasing) costs, both to his upstream provider and also in
bandwidth, both network and computer.
<br>
<br>
Many of us will be happy to supply you with as many simultaneous calls
as you can handle, but we'd all want to be paid in proportion to your
usage, or we'd be out of business.
<br>
<br>
Best,

The application in question
<br>
will involve setting up asterisk in a datacenter where we already have
a
<br>
fair amount of bandwidth. As far as the DID provider's portion of the
<br>
bandwidth, I assume that they would account for this in the rate they
<br>
quote us.
<br>
<br>
I'm just asking the list if they have any good experiences with
<br>
origination providers, as my attempts to get them just to return my
<br>
calls have not been successful.
<br>
<br>
If it's relevant, I imagine gsm or speex codec for this application,
but
<br>
haven't yet made a decision.

Assuming that you will need about 12 to 24 simulataneous calls on each
<br>
DID you want to run, and you are using Ulaw to get these calls, what is
<br>
the bandwidth that the DID provider has to give you, apart from the DID
<br>
service?
<br>
<br>
Ulaw needing 64 kbps per line, needs 1.2 mbps for 20 simultaneous
calls.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Assuming a Data T1 costs about $500 bucks a month and assuming that you
<br>
need/use the DID for only 8 hours a day at that rate, it costs about
<br>
$100 per month in data bandwidth alone.
<br>
<br>
Who will pay for this, If it is not Democracynow who is footing the
<br>
bill?
