SIP Trunking 2.0 - The Service Provider Perspective

Why should service providers look at SIP Trunking here? In short - customer retention. They still need to provide TDM and support legacy equipment, but there is a continuous shift occurring to IP. In time that will mean fewer PRIs, T1s, E1s, etc., which means reduced revenues. Most carriers are willing to accept this tradeoff to keep the customer, and eventually sell them on IP services, which tend to be high margin. For now, this is a SIP Trunking 1.0 story, but without the customer, there is no 2.0 story to tell.
