There are hundreds of VOIP / POTS gateway services that allow direct voip inbound calls. There is a whole community of direct end-to-end voip users but vonage goes out of its way to block these calls. http://www.sipbroker.com/sipbroker/action/providerWhitePages -wolfgang | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It is? What is the patent for? > Armed with a court decision, Verizon can pretty much own VoIP.
What will they own? The voip / POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) gatewaying market? Big deal. All that will do is force the VOIP players to do what they should have done a long time ago and allow interconnections amongst themselves and route around POTS as much as they can. If Verizon wants to shoot itself in the foot and make POTS even less desirable then let them. Routing voip to POTS is pretty much a pessimizing solution anyway. You get the high delay of VIOP combined with the echo and low fidelity of 8khz ulaw from POTS. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S. Rupprecht http://www.wsrcc.com/wolfgang/ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
