Open Source VoIP
Jon "Maddog" Hall, president of Linux International, said Wednesday that the opportunity should arise for open-source VoIP to become bigger than Linux.
According to ZDNet UK:
"I predict that over next three years, VoIP using an open-source solution, such as Asterisk, will generate more business than the entire Linux marketplace today," said Hall.
Halls explained that the open-source project Asterisk provides a cheaper alternative to proprietary PBX solutions, which are used by many companies today to provide telephone services. [...]
According to the Asterisk Web site, the software can interoperate with almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware and provides features such as voicemail services, call conferencing and call queuing.
