[asterisk-biz] How is your business in this economic risk

[Alex Balashov]

I'm with Nitzan on that.

I think it may be a time to more aggressively emphasise the potential 
cost savings directly and indirectly enabled by VoIP (not just on 
telecom services, but also by allowing one to grow in creative and 
mobile new directions as far as how one does business - factors which 
affect fixed and marginal costs related to staffing, etc.).

But aside from that, it's a fairly downturn-proof industry.  If 
anything, it may even benefit for reasons pointed out by others.
