I have an interconnected set of asterisk servers which is beginning to 
implement a fairly interesting mesh of free local calling across dozens 
of exchanges as a value-added service on my wireless WAN.  I have a 
dozen or so stations right now talking to a dozen or so "virtual trunks" 
to different sources of "office" services.

Sort of impossible to "corner" the OS market, by definition.  That is 
another thing that is truly great about the product, beyond its 
technical capabilities.

Lots of people are deploying it, in more situations that I think you 
might imagine.

Oddly perhaps, many are deploying for no gain (or only modest gain) 
because it is so very exciting.  We are living in the land of (in my 
opinion) the biggest technological paradigm shift of the near future. 
IMO it's going to be a verrry exciting ride.
