So you can’t offer VOIP yourself as a service to your ILEC customers? Just curious …
The way I’ve seen it done with SILEC’s not in US were that customers could take whatever the SILEC was offering for services anywhere (ie. VOIP) but in regulated territory the customer had to take dial-tone anyways before they could get DSL which then they could use for VOIP and typically wouldn’t bother as they already had POTS anyways.

The answer also probably depends on what you are mainly going after: residential, business hosted PBX, or business onsite PBX (not to imply those are mutually exclusive). Business probably has the best profit potential as well as the ability to actually bring in broadband business and not just make broadband customers stickier. But business VoIP is more demanding as far as advanced features, nice GUI, ability to customize features and GUI, and automating your tasks like adds/moves/changes and backup/restore so that labor doesn’t eat you alive.

As in buying low, good quality service for resale.
