Adding seven service provider and technology partners like Acmepacket, broadsoft, iBasis.

NeuStar Inc., a service provider of DNS infrastructure, yesterday announced the expansion of its SIP-IX Industry Alliance Program, adding seven service providers and  technology partners. The newly added partners are Acmepacket, Broadsoft, iBasis, nexTone, sonus, sylantro, and XO communications.
  
According to NeuStar, it has developed SIP-IX as the comprehensive suite of services designed to enable direct network-to-network peering with a standards-based, cross-domain registry service that is integrated with the Internet Exchange Providers. The Industry Alliance Program is designed to make it possible for carriers and network operators to obtain access to authoritative network routing and addressing information, as well as foster relationships among alliance partners and the vastness of their collective customer systems.
     
"Turning SIP and IP-based services from interesting niches into mainstream revenue opportunities is wholly reliant upon interworking amongst major network operators. For them, a trusted, neutral, and
seamless solution for services peering is essential," said Mark Foster, CTO, NeuStar. "The broad application of leading suppliers to network operators in the SIP-IX Alliance Program delivers that value now more than ever, and is a reflection of the trusted neutrality of this Alliance that ensures we collectively can seamlessly deliver a compelling business solution that creates strategic value for our
customers."
