[Asterisk-biz] Marketshare of Asterisk Solutions

[Dean Collins]

Olivier, I don't install asterisk so I don't have customers to support
but I'm prepared to help out on editing/mockup etc.

Also don't forget to include background info on carriers that use
Asterisk eg. www.freshtel.net is supporting 20,000 customers on more or
less a highly evolved version of Asterisk.

Cheers,
Dean
