Ken, if they don't plan to use PSTN they may as well put it on hold for a couple of years. But I think that they do, based on:

"A highlight will be the use of Cisco's VoIP enabled-gateways interoperating with VocalTec's gatekeepers. The gatekeeper software will serve as the "nerve center" of the voice network, performing authentication, authorization and accounting, allowing for flexible call routing and dialing plans, third party billing/management, centralized provisioning of gateways and the addition of new/enhanced applications. The VocalTec Gatekeeper, which won Network Magazine's 1999 Product of the Year Award in Telephony Integration, has been deployed by ITXC Corp(TM), Deutsche Telekom AG (NYSE: DT), China Telecom and other leading carriers/service providers."

What leads you to believe that they wouldn't? I'm probably missing a point somewhere. Is it because BEL would be on the wholesaleing side? I thought about that, but wholesaleing doesn't preclude them utilizing PSTN constructs. Does it?
