| company focused on advancing open source communications solutions to also be
| at work generating revenue. As difficult as this balance may seem, that is
| exactly what Digium strives to do, and so far has been quite successful in
| the process.

Digium Founder Mark Spencer Recounts the History of Open Source Asterisk PBX
,----[ Quote ]
| Mark got started with Linux early in 1994 Slackware (kernel version 1.09).
| One of the few in Auburn, AL at the time that knew anything about Linux.
| After a stint with Adtran (a global provider of communications equipment) he
| moved out on his own starting a company called Linux Support Services. Mark
| traded his services for space in the back of a local computer store in
| Huntsville, AL. He started by building his own computer and eventually built
| his own phone switch informed by his experience developing GAIM (now Pidgin)
| among other open source projects.
|
| [...]
|
| He attributes their early success contributions from this technical audience
| with contributions from hundreds of developers and feedback generated by over
| a million downloads in 2007. They also benefited from the fact that
| traditional telephone systems were very expensive and features didn’t
| translate from one system to another. Asterisk was very cost effective,
| configurable, and capable of VOIP in an industry with no clear leader. Also
| there was a fundamental shift in the industry from hardware switches to
| software switches.

Junction Networks uses Asterisk to tailor VoIP to customer demands
,----[ Quote ]
| Oeth is no stranger to open source. In the early '90s he started Interport
| Communications, an ISP that eventually became the second largest in New York
| City. In that business he got "very familiar" with Apache Web servers and a
| host of open source tools. After he sold Interport, Oeth was looking for
| another business. "Knowing all the advantages of open source, we saw a lot of
| similarities between Apache and Asterisk. We knew we could install this, get
| a conference bridge up and running, and have the cheapest one out there."
