one more bowling ball rolling....
ok... PSTN = Public Services Telephone Network -- works in both
Wireless mode and Copper physical line mode.
given PSTN is here to stay.
So I think what the previous posters are trying to imply is:
VOIP services versus Traditional Telephone land line services (???)
Now that we've hopefully corrected the terminologies and used the right
terms (I hope)...
I guess the conversation is:
a) Land Lines vs. Wireless Lines? ... or
b) Traditional PSTN Land Lines vs. VOIP lines. ???
.... and we all agree ....
a) VoIP can be delivered both through physical land line copper
infrastructure... and/or
b) good wireless infrastructure.
.... or.....
is the topic about:
a) Hosted Services vs. Onsite Premises Equipment?
I mean we **are** talking about VoIP PBX platforms here right... ?
... or... is the topic about bowling?
... sorry... nasty headache trying to keep up here.. :)
Cheers!
Reza.

IMHO getting rid of PSTN lines completely might be a bad idea. When all
else fails an analog phone line is still the most robust way of accessing
the PSTN.
Obviously you have your opinion as to the way to go, I myself have a small
hosted system and also install small/medium sized Asterisk based systems.
It's just "different strokes for different folks"

I never suggested Asterisk. All I'm saying is people should not be
deploying on-site PBXs unless they have a business case to do so and if you
do a true total cost ROI (taking all factors into account, not just
up-front equipment purchase), hosted is your best solution.
I think you interpreted my comments as suggesting that the guy should
setup his own hosted Asterisk PBX for this client which is absolutely not
what I meant. He should buy service from an existing, established, proven
hosted PBX provider, not try and do it himself.
The traditional business case for the PBXs is to share expensive limited
resources (lines) among many people using (comparatively) less expensive
on-site equipment. In other words, it's cheaper to install your own
equipment to share lines than it is to run copper pairs of wires to every
person who needs a phone.
With VOIP the cost of that limited resource has been greatly diminished
and thus the business case for the on-site PBX also is greatly diminished.
Note that I did not say "eliminated". The cost of the limited resource
(lines) is pushed up the chain to the hosted PBX provider who able to use
economies of scale to drive the "per-line" cost down by over-subscribing.
As more users shift to products like Microsoft Lync & Skype, PSTN
requirements will continue to drop and (hopefully) one day the PSTN will
disappear.
