That's the first I've heard of Wide Voice. Their network looks

you inquire about a LATA, they build it out.

You can get a PSTN Connection Service from Peerless or Wide Voice.
Inteliquent used to offer that service but they have backed away
from it
recently.
To make it simple, you have to get certified as an Interconnected
VOIP
carrier and then set up SIP trunks with your PSTN Connection
provider.
You order a POI CLLI and LRN NXX for every LATA that you want to
enter
and point your traffic to the PSTN Connection provider's switch in
the
LERG. You still have all your own NXXs and LRNs, but you can get rid
of
your SS7 network because the PSTN Connection Service Provider
handles
that piece. You still do all your own porting and maintain all your
connections with 911, LD, VOIP providers. If you want more
information
on how it all works, just message me privately.

assume there would be some abstraction layer happening by a third

I did want to circle back on this.
I am currently a CLEC with traditional voice services in a single
LATA
on a single set of tandems. We have SS7, do our own porting, etc.
I understand that going interconnected VoIP (instead of CLEC) may
be
easier for my expansions.
So that I don't have to drag T1s all over the place, what options
do I
have in front of me? To be clear, I am looking for specific
providers
and products, even off-list solicitations.
I'm not afraid of T1s, they're just expensive. I got a quote for a
single T1 to the facility where the other tandem in our LATA is,
and
it was far more expensive than just sending the calls out our
termination providers. If I need more than one T1 (one for each
tandem), then I'm really priced out of the market. Obviously that
course of action wouldn't help me for my own number blocks.
I looked at straight DID\minute services, but as some of our past
(and
potential future) customers have several hundreds of DIDs compared
to
the amount of traffic they'd have, that gets a difficult to
operate
in.

I'm evaluating methods of extending our footprint. I purposely
left
out company names.
One of the companies we talked to was really only interested in
getting us the inbound long distance calls, not the local ones.
Well,
they would, but the terms were vastly different.
Given that I still need to build out to connect to the local
tandem,
what's the point in using a third party to connect to long
distance?
Are the terms for connecting to the local tandems different
because
the access tandem is simpler, whereas the local tandem could
potentially involve connections to a bunch of other switches, once
volume dictated I needed direct connections... and they don't
want to
deal with that?
Are there third parties that don't have vastly different terms for
local tandem services?
Also, is it likely that I just don't understand what's going on? I
went circles with the sales rep to make sure I understood what he
was
saying, but I could be wrong.
