[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk compare with Skype

[Paul Fielding]

I use Asterisk because I want the flexibility.

My mom uses Skype because it just works.   Hey, my Mom can configure Skype. 
I'll give $100 to the first person that creates a SIP client that my Mom can 
configure.

Forget the fact that Skye's audio quality easily surpases any SIP client 
I've ever used.

You bet we have to work harder to outshine Skype.  I'm all over that.  But 
we've got bigger shoes to fill than some people realize....

regards,

Paul
