Build Your Own VoIP Network

It is quite interesting that you could do this yourself; however, with Vonage (my fav!) and all the others out there, it would be like Deawoo: yet another cheap Asian car maker.

IMHO, this is one of the few areas we don't need more providers in. What I want to know is how can I start my own wireless ISP?

To start our own WISP and want to know how visit the WSIP Forum.

Actually this could be a great thing to those who want to create private VOIP networks. Without ever having to use a third party provider and can have offices inter-connected over a PBX system.

Good point. You could keep your small business connected without being raped by POTS.

Half of the page is cut off and there's no side scroll bar at the bottem. Is it really worth the read if you can only read half the paragraphs?

I just maximized the browser and the problem was solved.

As a complementary product to Internet Access, this is a great idea. I have worked the numbers a million times over and can not reach a price point that is close to Vonage, Sunrocket, etc.

Would I offer better support, more features and higher quality than Vonage? Absolutely, but 99% of the residential market are choosing VoIP for price savings only.

Bottom line is [PSTN Access(PRI)+Bandwidth/Collocation+CPE] must be less than [Total Revenue (MRC&NRC)]. You either need a complementary product to subsidize the cost(i.e. Internet access) or a TREMENDOUS amount of volume to make it profitable. That is why the Cable Companies will win and Vonage will die.
