We considered it for our multifamily and high rise projects as an additional profit center but decided against implementation because there isn't enough money on the table per-subscriber to make it financially worthwhile; it's hard to make a case to be a "baby telco" when Vonage can lowball you without even sweating. We concluded you would need at least a thousand subscribers concentrated in a particular area before you started making any kind of decent money, and even then it would be risky because what would happen if you went down? You would have 1000 of your customers pissed at you and would never buy another one of your housing products ever again. In the end it was easier for us to concentrate on our core product and let the ILEC take the blame for crappy phone service. ymmv

I know someone that is developing a ~400 home project and thought asterisk might be a possible alternative to the phone company and a way to offer more service to buyers. I am new to the asterisk world. I'm working my way through the O'Reilly book and have been playing around with a test machine at my office. Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
