FiberNet Launches VoIP Platform
April 12, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Interconnection service provider FiberNet Telecom Group (ftgx.com) announced on Tuesday it has launched the Phonomenum Minutes Marketplace, an open clearinghouse for Voice over Internet Protocol traffic.
Carriers and service providers can now directly buy and sell the origination and termination of domestic and international minutes-based voice services, using FiberNets Phonomenum platform. The carrier-class, ENUM-based technology enables carriers, cable operators and Internet telephony service providers to establish direct peering connections for VoIP traffic exchange.
“We designed the Phonomenum Minutes Marketplace to be an open market where carriers can directly trade VoIP minutes,” says Ernest Hoffmann, vice president of engineering for FiberNet. “This transparency provides FiberNet customers direct access to the entire marketplace of current and prospective trading partners.”
Using data partitioning software, the Phonomenum Minutes Marketplace enables carriers to selectively offer pricing schedules catered to individual trading partners, while concealing sensitive data from their competitors. Market participants can choose to distribute price information in ways that best suit their market focus.
