asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Which SIP transport from France and termination services in the Nederlands

Hi,

This question is both technical and business related.

I've got a prospective customer in France which belongs to Hotel industry.
He has a lot of visitors coming from the Nederlands.
I'm studying the opportunity to offer phone services to those visitors.

The service I'm thinking about is plain local call termination : hotel
guests cost effectively call their relatives in their home country (the
Nederlands in this case).
The setup is :
SIP hardphones in France------<LAN> ------ Asterisk
--------<SDSL>----------
<www ? or MPLS network ?> -----------<Gateway>-------- <PSTN>
---------
Phone in the Nederlands

I'm wondering what kind of service I should buy to get reliable SIP call
transportation (from France to the Nederlands) and local termination (in the
Nederlands).
Maybe I should just use the Internet and shouldn't care too much about call
quality.
Any suggestion ?

Cheers

Hi,
I would advice you to buy some minutes at a (or several for redundancy) SIP 
provider located in France, so you don't need anything in Netherlands... As 
you have SDSL, connexion between you and the provider should be really good. 
If you don't need incoming calls from Netherlands through SIP, it's even
easier...
