Bugfixes, new support for wideband codecs, basic SS7 support, TLS encryption for SIP, and hundreds of other major and minor changes have kept Asterisk 1.6 as the most powerful and flexible voice toolkit available. * John will be talking about how open- source software offers a possibly counter-intuitive shelter for businesses who are hoping to reduce their expenses and improve service in an otherwise gloomy economy. * Ethan will help Telephony users and integrators understand Unified Communications, how Asterisk is positioned for UC, and what open source and commercial technology is available to create a world class UC platform using Asterisk.
