sorry to interfere: inap will not be bypassed. outmarketed, maybe by inferior performance, but deeper pockets: ie: betamax was better; vhs won. inap is premised on intelligent routing through multiple carriers. a routing co. quest and at&t are providers of a technology (voip) which they equip themselves to do via VOCL and other voip equipment providers. inap is all about routing voip and other data packets via high performance standards end to end, something no single carrier/telco/cable co can offer. different and more than voip.better than any single carrier/voip provider. and they have the patented technology that must be bought out or licensed. g

Do you know if AT&T and QWEST's move to VoIP will bypass INAP or could the avail themselves of INAPs service? I don't know what ATT & QWEST's plans are, but just remember the statements that INAP has made and I listed in my previous posting and then draw your own conclusions.<g> 1."NSPs can't guarantee service beyond their networks, so no traditional NSP can meet the needs of an internet-wide application, especially VoIP" 2."Only INAP can provide predictable internet performance and improve end-to-end latency by 35% assuring business continuity during provider autages.VoIP cannot afford downtime." 3."75% of large enterprises are multi-homed and only INAP can provide a predictable internet performance and guarantee it."
