Well, RC and 8x8 are built off Asterisk or FreeSwitch and they
account for a lot of noise, but not a lot of lines. The largest CLEC
in the US is actually Comcast. Comcast has the most VoIP and it
comes off Broadsoft, SBCs and ALU.<br>
Level3 is the VoIP back-end for a number of ITSP's and it is Sonus
and their own softswitch. (L3 built one of the first softswitches
and owns a number of patents on it. Sprint, VZ, ATT, 8x8 all own
patents for VoIP).<br>
XO is atop 10 SIP provider and again BSFT.<br>
VZ's SIP and VCE offering is on BSFT.<br>
Cable's voice is all VoIP, but none of the top 8 MSO's use Asterisk.<br>
The top ILECs all use Meta or BSFT or ALU.<br>
Wind, EarthLink, Alaska are all on Meta.<br>
Cellular calls are VoIP (and will soon be VoLTE off of ... BSFT).<br>
<br>
Yes there are a couple of thousand (IOCs, MSOs, ITSPs, cellco) VoIP
providers in the US and a majority of the ITSP market is Asterisk,
but a majority of VoIP lines is not Asterisk.<br>
<br>
I don't work for BSFT. I consult to a number of regional and larger
CLECs on HPBX and other product launches. <br>
