[asterisk-biz] Starting a VOIP Business

[Mike Hammett]

Initially it wouldn't work well because there was some pretty bad jitter.  I 
turned off a feature that enhanced the speed and it remedied the problem, 
giving me the solid, low pings and jitter.  I hear that the latest software 
release for my wireless system resolve that problem with the high speed 
version.  As soon as I get my new Freeside server up and running, I'll begin 
promoting the VoIP usage to my wireless clients.  Wireless + VoIP is really 
the only way to be an ISP or an ITSP.  Any other combination results in too 
much dependence on someone else and not enough profit.
