[asterisk-biz] DIDX Query (Dan Journo)

[Max Glucksmann]

Hello Steve,

Just wanted to make my employment status clear. I don't receive wages from
DIDx net, neither have signed an employment agreement with them. We just
have Interop Agreements as DID Buyers and DID Sellers. I'm happily working
at Comtel Networks in FL (Fort Lauderdale, you're invited to stop by the
office) and now with AstraQom from Canada; if it weren't so, I'd wish I
was hired by DIDx, but is not the case.

It is true I've attended conferences as other DIDx members have, which
actively use DIDx, and have been invited to exhibit at their booth our
products, from AstraQom and Comtel Networks, showing how we implement
their APIs to sell phone numbers through our websites.

At times they refer other DIDx members to us which are looking to develop
phone systems and use their APIs, since they don't offer API programming
services. We bill those customers in AstraQom and Comtel Networks, being
DIDx responsible only for providing the phone numbers. We collaborate with
each other, between companies, and I personally don't see anything wrong
about that.

Maybe I should modify the resume to clarify this, but I would definitely
mention my experience with DIDx anyways since there's no backsliding from
the relation between our companies. I've used successfully the wish list
in their dashboard to request new features and they have delivered
promptly and have added API features that we've asked for; also, I will
always be happy to assist other DIDx members since we offer that service
in AstraQom and Comtel Networks as part of the development we do using
Asterisk and DIDx.

About the minimum now being possible to be covered with only $15, I think
it is great. If you research other suppliers, you will see some require up
to $500. Having to manage 50 DIDs that you don't want, doesn't seem a
problem to me. Working in development I often use the OH DIDs to test new
apps and we use them for company use, such as access to IVRs.

Having said all this, I still recommend DIDx and feel proud about the
collaborative business relation we have, which has grown to be personal
since they are close friends after all these years.

Regards,
Max Glucksmann
