you can limit it to the provider end by doing a limit, read the page
below for 1.2 notes, as the naming changed.  

You can do a setgroup/checkgroup in the dialplan putting all 10 people
into the same group.  

Lastly, and probably the least effective, is you can watch channel usage
and when someone exceeds 5 run over to their desk and smack them with a
rotten fish.
