Colleagues - the Wholesale Services working group at Communications
Alliance has just released its wholesale service description for
telephone services across the NBN. If you have an interest in using a
POTS port on an NBN NTU (which will use an internal SIP stack to talk
to your signalling gateway), or doing IP Telephony over the NBN in
general, then I encourage you to have a look at this and please provide
your feedback.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Paul (with my hat on as head of the CA NBN Project)<br>
