<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I think it depends on quality guarantee versus cost. For call centers (like Clifford points out), quality would usually be of upmost importance. But for general usage or
college campus environment, maybe quality is not of upmost importance and cellular-like quality is more than acceptable.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Or, in some cases, the internet provider may also be the ITSP/SIP provider which may provide QoS control as the traffic would never leave their network.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I’ve also seen where a customer’s WAN carrier also provided the SIP trunks over their existing MPLS network. It usually requires a slight increase for BW on links, but the
trunks and local loop charges are already being paid thereby drastically reducing the costs associated with a dedicated L3 circuit just for SIP traffic.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">It’s always a good idea to understand the full cost of the service rather than focus on ‘per minute’ charges. I’ve seen several customers that assume SIP equals lower costs
only to find out that dedicated L3 trunks can cost more than a couple PRI lines they are replacing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
