What might be good to consider is that "traditional" telcos actually use VOIP tech on the back end a lot.
SIP URIs seem to be a kewl and ubiquitous solution, but for the average joe, not so easy to setup and use. And for the record, I consider wireless carriers as traditional telcos as well as wireline carriers. On 06/15/2017 05:56 PM, Christopher van de Sande wrote:
Hey, so not particularly asterisk related, but I think the people on this list are the right bunch to ask. So does anyone here think the traditional telephone company will go extinct, and voice communication will take place via email like (or equal to) sip uri's? I just setup an anonymous endpoint in pjsip.conf and a context that forwards to $EXTEN and when I setup the correct SRV records, it seems that any SIP client that's smart enough can just dial my SIP/email address. Is this what the future looks like?
