BTW - the title of this was supposed to be "BRI dead in USA?"! (too early!)

Hi- Because a majority of my customers are in Europe, I've gotten quite used to working with ISDN (PRI) and BRI on a regular basis. Recently one of my customers asked me if I could terminate a few lines locally here in the USA (California), so I called up SBC to enquire as to how much it would cost to install a BRI here. Although the rates were reasonable (except the installation), I got the distinct impression that they really didn't want to install BRI's. Their comments were "well, BRI is getting quite antiquated", and the like. They said with the advent of ADSL, there's not much of a market anymore, as most of past usage was modem related. I'm a little worried about the pricing going up, and availability going down in the near future. I don't have the volume yet to justify PRI. What are other's experience in the US with BRI? Also, they mentioned that I couldn't get caller ID with the BRI service, which I thought was a built-in feature. Thanks Scott Stingel Scott M. Stingel President, Emerging Voice Technology, Inc.
