[VoiceOps] Telcordia's LERG

[Steven Putnam]

Domain Registrations used to be a monopoly via Network Solutions.  Now Domain Registrars are a highly competitive free market.  Telcordia is another one that is ripe to fall in court, with their iron-fisted control of telephone number routing data and hidden pricing metrics for what is in-essence public domain data.

Fight the good fight, Paul.
