Zuku -10!!! Not to be rude or anything but "zuku biz" package takes ages (more like a kidney transplant waiting list), paid for the connection on the 2nd and still 21 days later am yet to be contacted and informed of the install date. Worst part is they said it wouldn't take long since am already in a building they consider 'fiber ready' and am getting used to being kept 5-10 minutes on hold when i make an inquiry and my visit to their offices didn't make a difference regardless of the promises i got.

Software as a Service : Need for type approvals nor not?
by aki 20 Feb '10

20 Feb '10

Interestingly, seems that Asterisk is/was listed under the CCK as a type approved device. That means due to its nature as a Pabx, those installating it also need some sort of documentation as certified installers? Now imagine if you went ahead and installed a project based on Asterisk, then regulator guys showed up to do inspections and only to tell the client that the installation is illegal. There will be a time for this. Afterall, installing " telephone " cabling needs to be ceritified to meet standards. Will CCK / Govt stay clear of Software as a Service categories or will such categories be slowly sucked into regulations/requirements? Me thots.
