I try not to put my oar in to things much when it comes to VoIP discussions
generally since many of my employers' customers inhabit the same lists...
and it looks bad when you bad mouth products they use.[1]

However, it's worth noting that if you're going to be using Asterisk and
selling the product to your customers who will in turn rely solely on your
product for telephony, you need to make sure you're very aware and up to
speed on the legal aspects.

incredibly difficult to build a solution using Asterisk that would be able
to survive the test of general condition 4.[2]

Forget the shiny web UI, the billing interfaces, systems operations, etc;
if you can't maintain an call and lose half your network, you're setting
yourself up for a number of very big (and potentially expensive) headaches.

generally earns a scowl or some form of muttering...
[2] Out litmus tests for GC4 includes dropping the power on one-half of a
disparately located platform.
