[asterisk-biz] Brokerage Firms and Asterisk?

[John Todd]

Moshe -
   I would perhaps suggest looking at this list as a start:

    http://www.digium.com/en/company/casestudies/

   ...and then perhaps sending me any additional participants who you  
think might be good case studies, and I'll try to have them added.   
There are, of course, tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of  
commercial installations of Asterisk.  Getting their names on a public  
list is the tricky part.  :-)
