Sangoma is a publicly traded company and has a company value of $8 million canadian. I think that would be a small price to pay to absorb a growing competitor, enter a new market(data gateways) and gain many product enhancements.
Digium could easily get funding to do this with their current financers. Although I realy don't know what complications would come up with a US-based private company buying a canadian public-traded company.

Digium Do you think Digium has enough money for that? I don't know how large Sangoma is, but they've been around almost as long as I have... I think it'd be a great idea though, if they have the cash for it.. I bet it'd pay off too.
