The big issue when I looked at this quite a while back was the potential number of calls of lack of.

Reality is that most voice calls in Australia are to Telstra, Optus, Vodafone.  So, if you factor out those calls then the number left doesn't make a good business case to setup an exchange etc.  

Maybe something like Megaport changes it a bit, but it's worth analysing your own calls and figuring out the value of it vs reliability/complexity etc.  It may have changed or the economics might be different now.
