    <p>Well, that sucks. Did I miss some VZ news that would have
      affected this?</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>With Frontier pushing this off however, I wonder which ROBC will
      be the first to break and offer SIP interconnection. It has to
      happen at some point, although at this rate, I'm not sure if
      "sometime this decade" is too much to hope for.<br>

          Maybe they finally realized they were giving all their

          Sinch and InfoBip and that it was going to start costing them

          they didn't move away from SS7. After all who has more
