A 2006 VoIP list reflected an industry in motion
A 2006 list of influential forces in IP telephony put the Asterisk community first and grouped companies, public bodies and individuals around the developing market.
What the report described
Its choices mixed open-source development, regulation, equipment suppliers and enterprise voice strategy. Such a list records one publication’s editorial judgement about influence expected in 2007, not a neutral measurement of importance.
How to read the claim
Names and forecasts are therefore kept as part of the contemporary debate rather than a current hierarchy.
