I thought the 'european' evidence was suspect.
It still amazes me that people dont think that the same methodology could 'appear' at multiple locations around the world at the same time.
You can tell these people are experiential archielogists.
There are only so many ways to create a sharp spear. Do a hundred different methodologies and you'll all work out which is the best way to do so.

Being an Australian who now lives in New York I wanted to jump in here.
When we moved to the USA we were stunned with the differences between states, they really do have 50 different countries loosely tied together as states.
EG several states have no income tax. in florida if you are sued you can be sued for everything 'except' for your house (explains why so many people in risky business decisions reside in florida (btw nothing to stop you selling your $20million dollar hourse after the court case either).
i think the best example is when I catch a cab in New York it has meters for determining cost etc - catch a ferry into New Jersey and cabs have no meters and price is determined by negotiation -lol
- the business exec for starting up a competing company and getting kickbacks while negotiating to sell a company he had an interest in to his own bosses. - the wife, who obviously knew what was going on but acquiesced for 3 years until she found out her husband was cheating on her and decided to take him to the cleaners. or - the company, sweet old HP who used pretexting to access an employees private phone records but when this failed, stole the social security information from his employment records.
either way makes for very very interesting reading www.theregister.co.uk/2007/01/25/hp_tv_kamb see that TV you are watching in the corner, who knows how it's development came about, who knew business was such fun.
well you should have read that sbs2003 requires itself to be the domain controller, he should have bought windows server 2003.....fire your sys admin and hire a real one.

It's a long story that I've posted here a few times so I wont bore everyone with the details but about 2 years ago I led a consortium of people looking to build a Myth-TV version of the tivo 3 cablecard box.
The difference with our platform was we were going to take live content from both the cable company's feed and the cat 5 internet connection and overlay them onto a consolidated platform.
The problem with cablecard the technology is the cable companies, it is quiet clear that the FCC is a toothless tiger who are never going to get anywhere and that the cable companies are stalling until forced then they will move to a new 'technology' with the next appropriate level of stall tactics. (they were just publicly talking about the software version of cablecard that the tv set manafacturers would need to build into their hardware (eg at least a 3 year lead time from signoff).
Cablelabs the consortium and cable companies the channels can all go to hell.
We'll be back when you are a forgotten memory and everything is iptv delivered.
I've since 'gifted' it to the MythTV community but Issac et al haven't picked up on anything but the supporting documentation and the businessplan is still available for download at www.Cognation.net/Cablecard3
I still think there needs to be a voice component to social networking.
I have a few clients who are using our Mexuar Corraleta technology for voice driven dating (www.mexuar.com or www.Corraleta.com ) but these guys are primarily driven by 1900 'adult' billing so they are using a credit card to 'time charge' their web interface.
I'm looking forward to working with a customer who wants to implement a free for all "click to talk" strategy on a social networking site for voice interaction.
BTW if you want to see a demo and are going to be in Dallas for Astricon we launch our USA sales on the 24th of October.

Hopefully they wont perceive lack of sales as a negative and do it right with another design.
sorry but I've never been a big supporter of first mover advantage. there are too many business cases that prove otherwise for most industries.
You Tube is where it is at today just because it's there, you could buy it for $1.5bn tomorrow and very quickly finding yourself holding nothing more than a few thousand server racks with all your content removed the the next latest and greatest.
i use trixbox with a tdm400p and 2 fxo cards, zero echo here and I just use standard config.
check your handset, using grandstreams for years and couldn't believe how much better Polycom's sounds. There's just no excuse for not spending the extra.
btw outside of the companies above, I know of at least 3 asterisk reseller companies in Australia supporting staff of about 15 full time people selling among other things asterisk and networking services.
in addition one of the startups I'm involved with is developing an Asterisk add-on application that has a staff of 4, all full time that wouldn't have a job without asterisk.
i think thats enough proof but feel free to get in touch with me at www.Mexuar.com should you need more:)
lol, 20,000+ customers (thats systems not handsets) say otherwise.
this 6,000 extension installation while large isn't a one off, there are a number of 1500+ extension installations ot there as well.

- the business exec for starting up a competing company and getting kickbacks while negotiating to sell a company he had an interest in to his own bosses.
- the wife, who obviously knew what was going on but acquiesced for 3 years until she found out her husband was cheating on her and decided to take him to the cleaners.

Dean
source? I dont belive this figure of operational costs of $1bn per month for the company as a whole let alone just the bandwidth portion.
I'd be interested in some actual facts if you have them.

yep I was thinking the same thing, walk up, buy phone, blow up phone, have a nice day.

Hey, I still say the digital watch was the greatest investion ever no matter what Al Gore says.

give me some of what they are smoking, zero revenues, zero profitability, zero commercial trade secrets/competitive edge.
for $500m I could replicate You Tube in 3 months.

nope not downloads, real companies. That figure is based on estimations from system integrators and the user list survey earlier this year.
go check out the mailing list and you'll find yourself amazed by some of the company user names.
i personally know of 20-30 companies using asterisk all in to 20-100 user range (1 of them might have more but nto sure on actual numbers).
Cheers,
Dean
ha ha ha, of course you haven't specified why the asterisk server would be going down in the first place???
then of course, at that price, you could have an entire asterisk server on standby and still come out 50% ahead.

Personally I cant think of a better place to store our CRM data than Salesforce.com
Think about it, how manay security specialists do I have on staff securing my data? (less than 0 so I'm sure SF has more).
How many staff do I have making sure our network is up and accessible (1 but I'm sure SF has more).
As for what happens if they shut their doors, well thats an educated risk I'm prepared to take.

Yep, what Myth is missing is a really simple iso like www.Trixbox.org is to Asterisk (and no knopmyth isn't it).
You may have the best mousetrap (pvr) in the world but if only geeks can install/use it then your market share is always going to be limited.
