UNIQUEID is the concatenation of AST_SYSTEM_NAME, the number of seconds 
since EPOCH and the number of channels created by this instance of 
Asterisk since it was started. (Check channel.c.)

How is this not unique?

Since UNIQUEID is already based on time, how does adding the date and time 
make it truly unique?
