I'm not quite sure about the "announcement" aspect of it. Are we talking announcements similar to BGP or ZeroConf that was mentioned earlier? What kind of announcements are being made now on LAN networks beyond printer/fileshare/UPnP for all of which you wouldn't want to have advertised in such a fashion over the WAN (even 44net - seeing how people get bent out of shape whenever any 'foreign' packet hits their firewall).
But to throw out a list... -NNTP/Usenet Servers - Possibly gateway BBS/FBB into NNTP -Common Databases - Callsign Database, Maidenhead and the like -Streaming Audio/Video - repeaters, remote receivers, sarex, ATV feeds or whatever you want to toss up there. -Video Conferencing - but I'm still struggling getting this working properly in the real world for public consumption... so may be a stretch goal. -Latency tolerant games like Chess, Poker... even TradeWars. -Internet of Things - Feed/Entertain my cat for me when I'm traveling... -Cameras - Not necessarily streaming... but for a while there on the internet, we could watch the sun set in tahiti while freezing in minneapolis... Let's hope it doesn't turn into ham radio #selfies :)

Actually, there are some SIP servers on AMPRNet already; and I'm capable of standing up a SIP server at my station. The only problem personally is that there's not much of a reason to stand up multiple SIP servers. Even
if
we did, it would be a good idea to standardize the call scheme to interconnect them, so we could dial those with SIP registrations on the various servers.
Regarding announcing services:
What exactly do those who want services announced wish to accomplish by having services announced over the network (and to the world if added to the DNS)?
My idea was more-so that those who don't mind informing the AMPRNet at-large that they have a service to share (and don't mind sharing that information) could post it to the list.
