[VoiceOps] Acme Packet (Abraham Jacobowitz)

[Alex Balashov]

The problem in the telecom enterprise market tends to be that  
recertification fees are so obscenely high as to be as cost- 
prohibitive to small companies as buying new, even if it is  
technically cheaper.  You got lucky with the Redback.
