Asterisk was never a particularly good LCR platform;  the performance 
just isn't there, especially given some developments in the race to the 
bottom, which often require rapid serial forking through 15 vendors 
before finding one that will actually terminate the call.

Nobody's making money terminating calls in wholesale, except in 
supremely large volumes.  There are still some retail opportunities, and 
some niche wholesale markets.  That's about it.
