Have you heard of Asterisk? Mark Spencer? (Wish him happy birthday on April 8.)  Digium? They and the world of developers and entrepreneurs leveraging Asterisk are responsible for millions of small businesses and other organizations, students, families, friends and other types of consumers to be able to make and receive calls over the Internet. Asterisk is an open source telephony switching and private branch exchange service. In other words, it is a protocol that lets people and organizations to talk to each other over the Internet inexpensively and with feature-rich flexibility. It is the reason that many loved ones talk more on the “phone” today. More business is developed among companies. More parents stay in touch with their children (students, ex-pats, and more). Check out AsterConference, a conference where you can learn about this technology.
