Currently you don't have to become a CLEC to sell VoIP services. I would recommend partnering with a Carrier and do facilities based DID termination instead of relying solely on the Public Internet for the PSTN connectivity. Essentially, I would get PRIs instead of backhauling all traffic over the Internet via SIP to a wholesale provider. If they go out of business, then there goes your DIDs. Also, the HOT TOPIC right now is e911 so I would recommend you work that out before jumping into this type of venture. Best of luck!

What system do you recommend for the provisioning of VOIP, is Asterisk a good system? Who would be a good carrier to partner with? Who are the wholesale providers that you can recommend?
And by the way, thank you for your great response.

Chad,
I have implemented a voip service. I have not sold any accounts yet, as I have had it in the testing phase. I have leased/purchased a T-1 two way trunk with DID's from our local phone company. Someone mentioned to me that I may have to be CLEC/state certified to be able to offer VOIP services and/or give out those DID's to my VOIP customers? Is there any regulartory documentation that either states yes, you do have to have CLEC status to do this, or NO, you do not have to be a CLEC to sell VOIP and give out local numbers from your list of DIDs. Please help ASAP!! :) You can e-mail me directly at jen@salmoninternet.com
Thanks,
