[asterisk-biz] Bounties.

[Dean Collins]

Yep, it's interesting we forget in the USA about how little we reflect
true income standards globally.

I had a very interesting dinner last night with a well known global
telco consultant who was sharing with me about how one of the most
profitable mobile carriers in the world is based in India with an ARPU
of only 300r per month.

It reminded me how Asterisk is not really utilizing it's full potential
globally yet.
