[asterisk-biz] PulverMedia

I got free service from FWD for my sip accounts and talk for free.
This is the first instance where it got my stake. (Skype is Next).

I bought a crappy X100P from digium for $150, which made me to hate
digium in the first instance. (I also bought $6.50 worth X100P from
ebay, that worked much better than $150). After that I never bought
even a single hardware from them. I personally donate by finding the
asterisk developers who dedicate their time in developing the asterisk
code and on support.

Second,
You can see more manufacturers coming up with the hardware for
asterisk. I found them much better (Sangoma Cards etc., ) than the
digium one. The Digium par quality cards in the market are much
cheaper than what is supplied by digium.

Asterisk has grown much stronger not just due to Mark Spencer, but due
to much asterisk community and developers inside developing asterisk
for no returns. ( See Disclamier Policy).

I have seen FWD grown due to Jeff Pulver and bringing most of the voip
providers, serices to a single stand for the world to watch and see.
Digium or asterisk is just part of the game.

Last but not the least, you can see the list of RFC's created by
pulver.com for voip. The peanuts from Jeff for voip standard.

There may be many. These are the things I just noted and my opinions.

Regards,
Kannaiyan
