Former Asterisk guy here!

The industry needed this consolidation 10 years ago.

Glad to see it’s finally happening. So much talent has left the space now that it absolutely had to happen.

Sangoma is a great company and I’m sure they will do a great job.

Indeed, I ran a large-ish asterisk user group for years in Toronto and know a number of people at Digium and Sangoma, and there was always a bit of animosity between them. Glad to see them finally coming together.

Most of the talent I know took a step to the right (like myself) and are working with WebRTC. It's all the same stuff! Just more signalling layers on top of RTP channel management. I quite often end up doing SIP over WebRTC with things like sip.js (still backing onto Asterisk and FreeSWITCH) and XMPP over WebRTC with jitsi-meet.

Indeed the SIP over WebRTC open source stack is a thing of beauty!
