Create your own phone company
Alec Saunders writes a thought provoking piece on creating your own phone company with open source software:
Just like the first PCs, hackers using Asterisk are building their own custom phone services. For example, I myself have a $300 PC in my basement, running Asterisk, and terminating calls on five networks. In theory, I should be able to handle a few hundred simultaneous callers on that box. It has got the memory, the CPU power, and the connectivity. Am I a service provider? I’ve seriously contemplated setting up accounts for my extended family on this box.
