Here in the states they want you to pay for documentation on cable pinouts and don’t even think about getting documentation for something like TCAP LIDB without giving up your first born and an arm.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>That’s the same thing we saw... Everyone wants SS7 but no one wants to help fund it... And to make matters worse just getting proper documentation for ANSI SS7 is not exactly a cheap endeavor. Unfortunately telecordia and crew still want to charge thousands of dollars for the docs when the ITU decided ages ago to make those available for free... Even then its still a substantial amount of effort to get something working (even if you have active links you can use to help understand whats going on)<BR>

No one will support you starting to write a SS7 ++ stack, but once you get going and the first stacks turns up, so will business.<BR>

I still see a compelling business case for a foundation supported free open source set of libs for the base protocols, commercially supported by multiple contributors who build higher level applications using the base protocols. In a situation like this, commercial sponsors can pool resources for certification. Obviously anyone using a modified version would not be using certified code but the sponsors who pay for certification would still get multiple benefits.<BR>

We should have an open source one too thats MPL or BSD ... I don't agree with selling protocols like this commercially. Guess thats just the Open Source in me wanting that stuff to be free.<BR>

Contact me off list if you are interested in either of the commercial versions I can assist you with these things.<BR>
