If anything asterisk is whats allowed the growth of voip into small business and enterprise markets. Before that the bare to entry in a voip system was far beyond what most companies where willing to pay for a pbx. What really does suck tho is all the ILECS still require T1¹s as a form of local interconnect. I¹ve just finished turning up 2 lata¹s and still turning up ds3¹s and muxing them down to t1¹s.
