Craig Lawrence posted his predictions for Asterisk and Mark Spencer in 2008:

I must admit my predictions for 2007 were not all that accurate. I didn’t predict that Digium would buy Switchvox or that the guys would do a deal with 3Com.  I did manage to predict that asterisk appliances would proliferate and that some high profile services would consolidate – but you don’t need to be related to Nostradamus to have picked those.
 
My 2008 guesses are looking equally as inaccurate as 2007 – they include:
 
-          Another successful year for Digium which could see a further Venture Capital injection and announcement that NASDAQ is within their sights
-          A high profile senior engineer from Cisco / Nortel / Avaya joins Digium adding market credibility
-          Mark Spencer puts a deposit on a Malibu house and draws up plans to build a Bill Gates style mansion
-          Trixbox releases a real appliance
-          3Com sells their 1,000th Digium Appliance
-          Dean Collins produces a BLOG that rivals Geoff Pulver’s and releases his top 100 VoIP prospects list on www.100collins.com
 
So what do you folks think we’ll see in 2008?
 
Cheers
