[asterisk-users] click to call

[Steve Totaro]

I see it as a "look, how cool is that?" feature but probably not used
very often.  

Some stats from tech and non-tech firms about page impressions and usage
would be interesting.  A survey would very interesting.  

Then there is risk that the call quality will be poor which will make
your company look bad as well.  

Anyways, I prefer email over the phone.  Funny huh?

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
