From Islands to Continents
I met with NeuStar today.
The discussion focused on peering and what the current state of the marketplace. In the discussion it became clear that we had "crossed the chasm" of Voice over IP and that interconnection was no longer about wholesale minute pricing but direct termination between carriers.
SIP - IX is designed for this new area of interconnection. The components of it include the ability to signal routing, validate identity and traverse adverse network elements. With partners such as Acme Packet, Broadsoft, iBasis, Nextone, Sonus, Sylantro, and XO Communications this is much more robust strategy than first meets the eye.
Its a service that makes alot of sense for cable operators and others looking to benefit from IMS.
