[asterisk-biz] Setting up a VOIP Provider

[Joe Antkowiak]

The problem isn't setting it up -- anyone who knows a bit about linux and is 
capable of learning a few networking concepts can do so, that's why there are SO 
many out there.  The problem instead is managing it and resolving problems 
without having an aneurism.  ITSPs are like ISPs were in the late 90's, the few 
who manage to keep customers happy and keep growing are the ones that will survive.
