<pre wrap="">Soon is a very relative word. IP PBXs are already outselling key
systems. If you believe the Gartner Group, 2010 marks the end of the
key system. Relatively speaking, two and half years is not that long.
"A recent Gartner Group report authored by Bern Elliot and Jeff Snyder
plotted out the IP future. "IP-enabled" (hybrid) systems have been
outselling TDM exchanges since 2003, and 2005 was the watershed for pure
IP PBX, surpassing traditional PBX in terms of "lines" shipped in North
America. By 2010, Gartner sees PBX sales being completely IP, "providing
the basis for (enterprise) unified communications."

When Verizon or any other tier 1 provider offers SIP handoff for a much
reduced cost than POTs lines, you may see a paradigm shift. They are
running IP at the core too. They can cut costs by delivering SIP calls
and pass that along to the consumer. Then it is bye bye POTs lines and
hello QoS enabled internet data T1s to the CO or core.
Another prediction from Steve Totaro. Mark my words!
Thanks,
Steve

<pre wrap="">Its not a KSU killer in the small end market. A good example is the
Vodavi STSe key system, basic KSU is 4 CO lines with CID daughter board
+ 2 SLT ports and 8 Digital extensions for $298 bucks. In skin Voice
mail $599 and 24 button digital speaker phones $115 each.
Do the math it's less than an Asterisk server, just doesn't have all the
other bells and whistles. Most small business don't use those other
bells and whistles anyway.
I sell both Asterisk solutions and key system, the key systems are not
going are not going away anytime soon.

<pre wrap="">That sort of comment is totally uncalled for IMHO! It was obviously done
out of emotion. Otherwise you would present some sort of valid argument
such as links/white papers/case studies of successful implementations. I
would like to see evidence of just as much as anyone but my initial
excitement over it has waned.
