Open source PBX calls on telecoms
,----[ Quote ]
| Faced with the high cost of buying a traditional telephone system, Digium
| CEO Mark Spencer made use of his own programming skills to create
| Asterisk, an open-source alternative.
|
| Spencer had helmed a company called Linux Support Services, when he
| decided to create an open source-based PBX in 1999 and dubbed it,
| Asterisk. He then changed the name of the Huntsville, U.S.-based
| company to Digium, shifting its focus to provide support and
| consulting services for the Asterisk open-source platform.
