Previously, only call centre calls were recorded but now the regulation applies to all calls outside of the call centre as well.

Open Source Experts from PIKA Foresee Challenges of Making Money, Increased Litigation
“It’s the ever-continuing struggle for companies to find a way to monetize their open source assets,” said David Clarke, who works in business development for PIKA Technologies (News - Alert), an Ottawa, Canada-based company whose media processing building blocks connect computer systems to TDM and IP networks.
According to Terry Atwood, the company’s vice president of sales, marketing and customer care, “The problem is that monetizing open source is a little counter-intuitive to open source itself. Usually when you monetize, you put a lot of work into something and then don’t want to offer it up to the open source community. It’s always pulling on both ends of the rope. It’s a challenge.”
Frost and Sullivan Report - June 24, 2008
SMBs Offer Good Growth Opportunities for Open Source Telephony Vendors
Open source telephony is gradually gaining traction in Europe due its cost advantages over IP PBX, proprietary call centre products and those supporting proprietary technology. Frost & Sullivan's analysis shows that the cost of an open source telephony 'line' can be up to 40 per cent less than an averagely priced IP PBX/Communication Manager. Total cost of ownership (TCO) comparison indicates a similar picture and the cost benefits are far greater in a call centre environment and in settings where the proportion of 'professional services fee' is higher. Hence, lower prices for similar capabilities are compelling a large number of businesses to turn to open source telephony solutions.

How is open source affecting the IP-PBX market, David Clarke, PIKA Technologies
Just a few years ago open source IP-PBX was a very niche, novel technology, unseen by traditional companies and not followed by technology analysts. Its status has increased considerably in recent years. Platforms have gone mainstream, respected analyst firms are actively researching and reporting on the open source market, and the telephony market has seen widespread adoption of VoIP solutions.

Appliances, Appliances Everywhere, by Ross O'Brien
If the sheer volume of product announcements in 2007 is a reliable metric, 2008 should be the year that IP-based enterprise communications becomes a DIY market. Call centers, hosted PBX providers, and enterprises small and large are being bombarded with a host of new devices and "building-block" application kits that will enable converged communications environments for business users with an increasingly sophisticated palette of call -management and data-integration applications.

A Primer on APIs, by Rod Boileau. Manager Customer Care, PIKA Technologies
PIKA submitted an article to TMC on the differences between high and low level APIs.
Now more than ever, application developers have the option to voice-enable their applications. Programs that traditionally did not have a voice component are now able to incorporate it. With IP telephony steadily increasing in popularity, there is a growing need for application developers to expand their capabilities to design solutions that are also suitable for an IP-centric world.
