Yes Dean, we do use Asterisk at OANDA. We've been running our office on it for 2 years now and the call centre's 1st Asterisk anniversary was April 1!
Glad you like our site, we've just launched FXGame Mobile (http://fxlabs.oanda.com) for the gadget lover and FXGlobal Transfer for ex-pat Aussies to send their money home. :-) Perhaps I should have added a smiley for my fellow North Americans but I think my analysis is valid. Perhaps the interesting points is that % of Skype users seems to be fairly uniform across cultures around the world although perhaps a little higher in Europe (a.m. usage while North Americans are still sleeping). I suspect that this is due to the call billing structure in Europe. They make the North American telcos look positively philanthropic. regards, Drew Dean Collins wrote: > Wow Drew, I had no idea someone from Oanda was a subscriber to the > Asterisk list (and therefore an asterisk user company?). > > Just wanted to say you guys run a fantastic sight and I've been a long > time user for at least the last 2 years. > > > > > Now for the irony part of your email.
