Exactly why I chose to go with a PRI for business use. There is something to be said for the stability of a telco, even if it's not SBC (or AT&T now). In some cases, government interference is good. How many businesses can survive a loss of their phone number? I know the ones I deal with cannot.
This is something we need to take into consideration as Asterisk users or consultants. We need to look at the whole picture, not just a short term savings. Can your business/clients survive without listings in directory assistance or the phone books? Can they survive if they have to change numbers due to their Voip provider losing a contract? Some can, most can't. I looked into using Voip. Technically, it seemed like a good solution. I just don't trust it in the long run. I know that by using a telco, I will have access to my phone numbers. With Voip providers, who controls the numbers?
I think this is something a lot of people fail to take into consideration.

I would be very wary, as VOIP providers feel no responsibility to the
customer and will not bother to tell us they might not be around next
week. Once bitten...
