[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk compare with Skype

[dean collins]

Well not entirely skype has had conferencing for a long time and they
also have run beta trials on skype voicemail but have chosen not to
implement it commercially yet.

I don't see the point of this discussion.

Skype is the pstn service;
Asterisk is a pabx;

No one ran around telling ma bell she needed to give pabx like features
to the pstn service. Let the thread die.

The reverse is true, as well, as was pointed out earlier on this thread.

Asterisk could do the high-quality voice if it didn't care about 
interoperability.

Skype lacks voicemail, CDRs, queues, IVRs, conferencing, music on hold; 
  the list goes on and on.
