[asterisk-biz] Asterisk Tools

[Andrew Latham]

The 2600 magazine is a 180 look at some topics, sometimes it can open
your eyes thus educational.  They have some silly work I will grant
that but by and large some of the work makes me think about systems in
new ways.

The question to continue on this topic is what the regulators could
bring to the carriers to control this.  What type of real or just buzz
wordy method could they select when presured by congressional
oversight(that was funny..).

Keyed or signed CPE devices
Costly switch replacement or certification
Auditing
New technology not ment for communications

This is really popular from a pedestrian side of things with tollfrees, have '2' call centers (even if virtual) in different states and make sure its all intersstate since, especially since some states origination charge exceeds 3-4 cents.
