Practically every company I have dealt with recently, from the smallest
to the largest, are using Asterisk and/or some form of VoIP.  And the
trend is clearly on the rise.  I think that, beside the thorny question
of how to decide what to test in such an exam, it would be a good
investment for LPI and the Open-Source community to have one.

Unfortunately, Digium already have it's own cert. :(
