May be slightly off topic, but I was wondering what everyone thinks of this latest ruling against Vonage? Does anyone really know what Verizon hold patents for, and could those patents possible affect anything in Asterisk? Who knows who Verizon will go after next.

It begins to look like government-backed racketeering and gangsterism. What is happening to "free enterprise" these days?

As much as 2000 calls a week per line. It took Vonage many months to catch on, and they figured out it was a fax service (presumably by googling or calling the numbers being dialed) . All Vonage did was force him to upgrade to "Unlimited Business" service on both lines. They where nasty about it via email, such as "mass faxing is against our TOS" etc, but they didn't cut his service. Then again, this was a couple years ago, they may be tougher on it now that they have more subscribers. On a side note, faxing over Vonage sucks and is unreliable. Nice voice service as far as I'm concerned though. -Kenneth

I love this thread, especially when it came to the "chicken boner" part of the discussion - brings back NANAE with a smile - and I'm glad no one found it off-topic, I think it's well worth talking about (the suit, not the chicken boners) as this may have an effect on some of what we do. I hope to talk a little about it on the Asterisk Users Conference today at 12:30 EDT if anyone wants to. Otherwise, it's about features.conf and whatever else comes up. For info, see http://x2z.eu
Just saw this article this morning: http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/16/vonage-no-workaround-were-pretty-much-screwed/ What happened to their workaround, whereby they route all of their traffic to someone else, who takes cares of LCR and ENUM? I don't understand how that wouldn't indemnify Vonage.

I need a straight origination/termination provider on a per minute charge plan.

My >> current provider is a gaggle of retards.Most VoIP telephony service providers are either carriers unto themselves, or buy SIP terminations from other entities who are. Pretty much any CLEC will port numbers, and most places that provide DIDs fully expect that you will want to port your numbers. -- Alex Balashov <sasha@presidium.org>
