There are are several types of peering/interconnect arrangements like this that would be very beneficial to many of us. I agree that a SER business list would be the best place to start.
The obvious benefit would be to expand your footprint to other areas without the upfront capital investment.
I would love to see something like a fwdout.net for SER, only on the business/itsp level with reliability.
I have been looking into this for quite some time. If anyone would like to discuss this more off-list, feel free to email me.

recent discussion about gateways got me thinking, surely there are enough people on this list, with gateways in most major countries, would it not be cost effective (havent number crunched here) if we could somehow interlink our ser proxies, to route traffic across to the nearest proxy. Again not fully sure of the benefits.
eg ser is the US, who has US DID's etc, and I wanted them, I could realistically purchase from that local SER guy, as opposed to having to go through all the interconnect stuff, and finding a partner myself. Maybe a ser-business mailing list for this might be useful.
