Rehan Allahwala and Greg Vance Discuss Empowerment of Asterisk

Posted on February 26th, 2010 by admin in telecom providers | No Comments »

This was actually the second half of a conversation that drifted from Asterisk education to the concept of DIDX and the further telecom empowerment around the world. The Philippines, Middle East and Africa are examples of areas where telcos or voip companies are already using Digium hardware, have a soft switch, and they have spare DID (direct inward dialing) phone numbers that instead of sitting around not making money, they can be made available on DIDX.

And ah, yes, we’d love to have a poster showing that DIDX won the Digium Service Provider Innovator award the first year this was available in 2007.

Thank you so much, Greg, for your words to Rehan, “I can’t imagine anybody that has done more for developing Asterisk opportunities as you have. What you’re talking about in sharing global DIDs is really enhancing the whole community side. Asterisk is obviously a good source and we want to bring as many people into that ecosystem as into the whole strategy in how to share ideas and how do we communicate. Really the whole idea of Asterisk is not necessarily a piece of hardware but it’s the communicating around the world. I’d like to say there is 99% of the world has an Asterisk server somewhere because it … has allowed people to become telecom providers when before, they were not able to because of the expense, because of their location… and now anybody with a little technical knowledge can become a part of that global community. So I applaud DIDX and the things that you’ve done to help pave the way for that. Thank you, Rehan.”

Rehan responds with examples of voice costs ten years ago to now and gives much credit where anyone would … to Mark Spencer and those who have stuck behind the Asterisk community. In fact, it may be easier today to open a telephony company than a bakery.

Greg and Rehan were in the press room where http://www.didx.net was a media partner and press agent
