Industry Perspective: An Open Source Carol: The Ghost of Open Source; Past, Present and Future
Wednesday, September 13, 2006, 4:45pm - 5:15pm

As the creator of Asterisk, the industry's first open source telephony platform, Mark Spencer, president of Digium, will discuss the phenomenal growth and industry acceptance of open source 
telephony since last year's Fall VON. Companies (from the enterprise to the SMB) as well as carriers and developers have come to realize the benefits of open source solutions go far beyond cost savings. In fact, flexibility and competitive advantage are two of the main drivers behind moving to an open source solution. Taking a glimpse at the past, present and future of open source telephony, Mark will discuss the role this industry has and will play in the development 
of next generation VoIP services.
