Re: CLEC and FTTP H.248/Megaco

[Carlos Alcantar <carlos () race com>]

+1 here we do the same exact thing with our ftth and ont¹s separate vlan
with h.248 gw¹s sitting on it and you just point the profile of the voice
port to the gw.  There is a reason why they are doing things this way, as
current regulation does not force them to give you access to there fiber
network.
