gardel writes "So everyone's top-tech predictions for 2004 says it will be the year of VoIP. What does that really mean? This may narrow it down. Here's Voxilla's list of the top-10 advances and trends in the world of VoIP. On the list: VoIP and cellular converges, IP phones take over, Chinese and Mexican phone numbers come to the U.S., Asterisk hits it big. What would you add?"

      Just looking at the post, I have no idea who you are or that you're associated with Voxilla in any way.

      Typically it's good manners to end your submission with "(disclaimer, I run Voxilla)" or something similar. Ever noticed how Slashdot editors write similar statements when they post stories about Newsforge, or ThinkGeek, or those other OSDN pages?

    Having been an Asterisk developer for several years now, I tend to agree with the ad-hoc support of standard protocols (SIP and the ongoing battle between chan_h323 and chan_oh323). However, these days you don't see any more incompatibilities between * and other equipment than you would between, say, a Multitech MVP410 and a Cisco 7960 SIP phone. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The advantage is that you can sniff the SIP/H323 session, figure out which end isn't following standards and adapt * to work with what you've got.
