<div dir="ltr">I only have direct experience with the Host Switch offering from Inteliquent. They can provide IP handoff from their CLEC to VoIP carriers, or to other CLECs depending on the LEC. CLECs lose any CABS revenue, but that's nearly as dead a Betamax anyway. You may still need to sign an ICA with the LEC even if you aren't directly connected to them.<div><br></div><div>We've had a mostly positive experience moving one of our CLEC markets to this. It's much more cost-effective for us to have a single private IP interconnect with Inteliquent than to keep our own LEC interconnects, cross connects, SS7 links, etc. They can also failover traffic to our public networks, in multiple data centers.</div><div><br></div><div>The biggest problem we had was not Inteliquent's fault. We changed the SHA on our existing CLLI and many carriers failed to update routing on the effective date. In hindsight, we probably should have used brand new POI instead of migrating existing ones. I'd love to hear from you all if there was any other way to have avoided that disruption.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Regards,<div><br></div><div><p style="font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 20px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><strong>Calvin Ellison</strong><br>Voice Operations Engineer<br><a href="mailto:calvin.ellison@voxox.com" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(14,123,174)" target="_blank">calvin.ellison@voxox.com</a><br>+1 (213) 285-0555<br><br>-----------------------------------------------<br><strong><a href="http://www.voxox.com/" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(14,123,174)" target="_blank">voxox.com</a> </strong><br>5825 Oberlin Drive, Suite 5<br>San Diego, CA 92121<br></p><img src="http://cdn.voxox.com/img/voxox-logo.png" alt="Voxox" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
