Norbert apologies. 

yes DIDs are direct inward dial numbers. 

So I could provision a DID in US or UK number range and map this in ENUM and/or a SIP proxy (switch) and forward or redirect calls to you to that number to you over IP for instance.  

So a local priced call in UK or US could be routed to you over Internet. You may be able to do the same with a locally provisioned number to allow a local call to that number to be routed globally over the Internet. 

So the world over Internet is much smaller and you are far from being excluded because you are "not in a key location". Actually I disagree with that analysis profoundly. All parts of the world have battle with incumbency and it is up to users everywhere to say "I can't take it anymore" and implement better ways for them. 

You may not have serviced office providers but maybe that is an opportunity?

best Christian
