[asterisk-biz] g729 licensing

[Sergey Kuznetsov]

Some kind of brokers. We do use this idea in our applications.

I think the best way to put it on different hosting providers who have 
redundant links to different ISPs.
We do use 1&1 Hosting  ( http://www.1and1.com ) for that.


All the Best!
Sergey.
