Maybe I'm going about this all wrong.  I was really thinking more about
development of the Digium channel for those who are trying to sell the
product/services.  It seems to me that most of the subsribers by far are the
do it yourself types anyway and would only pay as a last resort.  This is
fine but not a huge market for consultants.  I was thinking more about
discussions of how to break into certain market segments, where is asterisk
a good fit, how have I done this that or the other.
