Hardly!

The job of the "traditional telephone company" has always been to connect a 
pair of wires at one end to a different pair of wires at the other end.  That 
isn't going away anytime soon.  There are more pairs of wires, with more and 
faster-changing signals travelling along them, that still need marshalling -- 
perhaps in more complicated ways than just one-to-one.

Whenever I am sending electrical impulses along wires and possibly via radio 
links, maybe even out into space and back, whether to someone in the same 
street or a different country, someone has to be making sure that those 
electrical impulses come out in the right place.

That is still the domain of telecommunications companies; they are just doing 
it with rather more bandwidth than the human voice.  The need for electrical 
impulses to be delivered to the correct destination still stands.  What has 
changed is, there are more ways than ever to make use of this "electronic 
logistics" service, and markets are emerging and evolving.

Look forward to a lot of SPIT (SPAM over Internet Telephony).

BTW how to you expect to get the data on your mobile device? That is a
"traditional" telephone company its bussiness, providing network
capabilities to endusers.

2017-06-15 Thread Bruce Ferrell

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.

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?

Speaking of this book, where can I get it?  Obviously I can read the
pdf, but I lack the facility to print it in any usable fashion.  The
labor and materials that I have spent on trying to print it thus far
probably outweighs the cost of the silly thing.  Is it only available
online, or do you think Barnes and Noble, Borders, etc might have it?

Hello, list!

I'm hosting a mirror of the book Asterisk: The Future Of Telephony
by O'Reilly Press, published under the Creative Commons license; I
believe this license allows me to do this, but if I'm mistaken, please
let me know.

I've taken the liberty of fixing the page numbers so Acrobat is now
aware of the correct number of each page, and shrinking the filesize
with Acrobat's Reduce File Size tool (while still maintaining
compatibility with Acrobat 4.0, apparently).

I bought a paper copy before I knew the book was available online, but
it's good enough that even had I known it was available online, I still

would have bought it on paper.

You're welcome to download it and keep it on hand -- it makes for
EXCELLENT reading:

Oh, I wouldn't print the whole thing; the price of the paper copy 
doesn't make it cost-effective to run one off... unless you happen to 
work at a place with a nice laser printer and a spiral-binding 
machine, I guess!


Any reputable book seller should be able to order it by its ISBN 
(0596009623). I bought my paper copy from Amazon, and had it in a 
week. It *is* a real book -- the PDF that was released is (most of) 
exactly what went to the book printing company -- the markings in the 
corners are alignment marks, and the vertical and horizontal lines in 
the margins are the cut marks for binding. The table of contents and 
index are missing, probably because they're fairly useless in a file 
you can do full-text searches on, and also probably to make 
counterfeiters actually have to do some work.
