[Asterisk-Users] Sangoma VS. Digium

[mattf]

Sangoma is a publicly traded company and has a company value of $8 million
canadian. I think that would be a small price to pay to absorb a growing
competitor, enter a new market(data gateways) and gain many product
enhancements.

Digium could easily get funding to do this with their current financers.
Although I realy don't know what complications would come up with a US-based
private company buying a canadian public-traded company.

Do you think Digium has enough money for that? I don't know how large
Sangoma is, but they've been around almost as long as I have...

I think it'd be a great idea though, if they have the cash for it..  I
bet it'd pay off too.
