A UK-based systems integrator, has completed its first ever Skype for Asterisk enterprise deployment. Is this the start of a larger trend involving Asterisk and open source IP PBXes? You’re about to find out.
This article will present a simple VoIP solution using Asterisk, an open source private branch exchange (PBX) product.

Skype, Polycom and a range of other partners are gearing up for Digium's Asterisk World conference (Jan. 20-22). But the big focus for Digium at the open source IP PBX event will likely involve updates to several new Digium initiatives. Here's an update.

The first time I ever wrote about the Asterisk open source VoIP PBX was nearly four years ago when the 1.0 milestone was released. I met Asterisk creator Mark Spencer a few months later in Toronto where he delivered a keynote at the VON (Voice on the Net event) of that year.
