Ok. We'll look into this.
Do you know how we could test this interconnection before CCC?

Could we interconnect with OpenBSC in the same way? I have little
knowledge of OpenBSC, so I'll let Dmitri Soloviev to handle this part,
but I want to know your opinion too.

I don't think LUs will be a problem.
Calls and SMS are much more interesting to test.

And that's what worries me - we would love to test the system under
more voice/SMS load.

One idea which came to my mind recently is to implement some fun (or
useful) value added services on our network which would encourage
people to make calls or send messages. I hope we'll have integration
with SwitchCoder.com soon and we could use it for VAS development. Or
may be even let participants to develop services using it. This is a
bare idea right now, thus please comment, criticize and improve.
