Should Carriers Fear Open Source?
,----[ Quote ]
| Think big telecom carriers don't use open source? Think again.
|
| While telecommunications may appear dominated by proprietary solutions, BT,
| the industry giant formerly known as British Telecom, is a big supporter of
| open source. And its experiences might serve as an guide for how other
| industries might make use of the trend in software development.
|
| Not only does the multibillion dollar British carrier consume open source, it
| is also a contributor and evangelist, according to Maria Pardee, president of
| global integration for BT Design.

Digium: Doubling Annual Sales with Open Source VoIP
,----[ Quote ]
| We thought it would be good to give open source VOIP pioneers Digium equal
| time, given our recent post about Freeswitch. Digium's founder, Mark Spencer
| was the original author of the Asterisk PBX, one of the more mature open
| source VOIP platforms. The company's VP of Marketing, Bill Miller, told me
| that "Last year was a big year for us; at the year-end we had finished our
| 24th straight profitable quarter. We had grown to about 130 employees." While
| Digium doesn't disclose financial figures, its sales have reportedly been
| doubling over the past few years and it has at least $14 million in venture
| capital since launching.
