[Asterisk-biz] h323 is a dying standard?

[Alex Pui]

On page 25 of Paul Mahler's "VOIP Telephony with *", he said "While H323 
support is present in Asterisk, H323 is a dying standard. Whenever possible 
you should use a more modern interface like SIP or IAX".

I think this book is very informative and I guess everyone of us should get 
one, but I would like to know how agreeable is the above statement, thanks 
for giving me some feedback on this.
