[VoiceOps] Acquire MetaSwitch

[Kili Land]

They are anti-cloud due to lack of immediate control and potential lack of reachability of critical infrastructure.
They are anti-expensive local switch due to lack of funding...which is why it takes so long to get upgrades.

I do have to say my local guys have really surprised me by providing fiber drops and decent local switching and hosted pbx options for businesses using a rather decent solution. Our local economic forum people are pretty skilled at helping to bring in funding to our rather remote location, however.

In my experience, they're very anti-cloud, but also very anti-expensive local switch. If that has you stumped, me too, pour yourself a drink.
