[asterisk-biz] 2008 Predictions

[Craig Lawrence]

I must admit my predictions for 2007 were not all that accurate.

 

I didn't predict that Digium would buy Switchvox or that the guys would
do a deal with 3Com.

 

I did manage to predict that asterisk appliances would proliferate and
that some high profile services would consolidate - but you don't need
to be related to Nostradamus to have picked those.

 

My 2008 guesses are looking equally as inaccurate as 2007 - they
include:- 

 

-          Another successful year for Digium which could see a further
Venture Capital injection and announcement that NASDAQ is within their
sights

-          A high profile senior engineer from Cisco / Nortel / Avaya
joins Digium adding market credibility

-          Mark Spencer puts a deposit on a Malibu house and draws up
plans to build a Bill Gates style mansion

-          Trixbox releases a real appliance

-          3Com sells their 1,000th Digium Appliance

-          Dean Collins produces a BLOG that rivals Geoff Pulver's and
releases his top 100 VoIP prospects list on www.100collins.com
<http://www.100collins.com/>  ;-)

 

So what do you folks think we'll see in 2008?

 

Cheers
