Wholesale Phone to Phone Voice Services
Least Call Routing
Just as many telecommunication carriers employ IP telephony in their
backbone networks, several operators sell IP capacity (often combined with
termination services) as a least-cost routing solution for international calls.
Given the increasing prevalence of this type of transmission, many callers are
probably already making IP telephony calls without knowing it. Pulver.com’s
"Minutes Exchange" acts as a "market maker" between parties
originating and terminating IP minutes.
Call Termination
Hundreds of small companies, many related to established ISPs, offer
international call termination in almost every country in the world (including
many where IP Telephony is prohibited). Some of these firms are full-service
clearinghouses and offer billing services as well. The barriers to entry are low
and so are the prices. See, for instance, the list of termination rates around
the world available on the IPxStream web site, or that of Arbinet-TheXchange,
where the prices quoted are often below the settlement rates, which would
otherwise apply. IP telephony minutes are being terminated on the PSTN just
about anywhere the Internet reaches.
