[cisco-voip] opting out of local trunks in lieu of low cost long distance

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Just wondering if anyone out there with remote sites in different calling areas have opted out of local trunks in liue of low cost long distance? That is, route calls local to the remote office over the WAN and out the HQ trunks. 

Granted this is really only available in those areas that have high bandwidth to the remote site, but many educational institutions have high b/w links due to research networks. 100Mbps to remote sites is not unheard of and now 1Gpbs are also available.
