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 Fixed costs and NO per minute charges 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.

Hi Mike,

Understand that your supplier will be paying by the minute.

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.

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.

Best,

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. The application in question
will involve setting up asterisk in a datacenter where we already have a
fair amount of bandwidth. As far as the DID provider's portion of the
bandwidth, I assume that they would account for this in the rate they
quote us.

I'm just asking the list if they have any good experiences with
origination providers, as my attempts to get them just to return my
calls have not been successful.

If it's relevant, I imagine gsm or speex codec for this application, but
haven't yet made a decision.

Assuming that you will need about 12 to 24 simulataneous calls on each
DID you want to run, and you are using Ulaw to get these calls, what is
the bandwidth that the DID provider has to give you, apart from the DID
service?

Ulaw needing 64 kbps per line, needs 1.2 mbps for 20 simultaneous calls.


Assuming a Data T1 costs about $500 bucks a month and assuming that you
need/use the DID for only 8 hours a day at that rate, it costs about
$100 per month in data bandwidth alone.

Who will pay for this, If it is not Democracynow who is footing the
bill?
