This is a little like the hen and the egg...
 
No one will support you starting to write a SS7 ++ stack, but once you get 
going and the first stacks turns up, so will business.

I still see a compelling business case for a foundation supported free open 
source set of libs for the base protocols, commercially supported by multiple 
contributors who build higher level applications using the base protocols.  In 
a situation like this, commercial sponsors can pool resources for 
certification.  Obviously anyone using a modified version would not be using 
certified code but the sponsors who pay for certification would still get 
multiple benefits.

get them certified... Its not like SIP where they will pretty much take 
anything and everything unfortunatelyKFrom: Brian West

SS7 stackWe should have an open source one too thats MPL or BSD ... I don't 
agree with selling protocols like this commercially.  Guess thats just the Open 
Source in me wanting that stuff to be free./bOn Jan 27, 2009, at 12:27 PM, Ken

There are things available for this in the commercial space.  One from 
CometSig.com and one from sangoma.  Nothing at this time in the opensource 
arena. (OpenSS7 will not be integrated with freeswitch due to licensing 
issues)Contact me off list if you are interested in either of the commercial 
versions I can assist you with these things.Ken
