Guys,<br><br>No need to get up in arms here. For obvious reasons price fixing is not<br>the way to go here. This is my mistake for adding my two cents. At any<br>rate different markets require different pricing structures so to all
<br>conform to one pricing structure does not make sense - this is what I<br>meant originally.<br><br>/D<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a href="mailto:asterisk-biz-bounces@lists.digium.com">asterisk-biz-bounces@lists.digium.com
