Look at it this way -- if you developed on that did something that kannel didn't, then you'd have customers. It makes zero sense to develop something exactly like kannel from scratch On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 12:11 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
@Peter and @Lenchipai, thnks for sharing the info.
General Question : SMS gateways. Despite being in demand, has anyone written such or is kannel still the choice?
I hope you can now see the devastating effects of freeware, just one example... who in their sober minds will ever want to develop an SMS gateway with all the features that will be for local use? I loved the proprietory days as the incentive was there to learn and do better for competitively. With freeware, it has just killed the industry.
How many on this list would buy a locally developed kannel version than to a freebie from the the usual sites?
I think we should compile a list and see the real devastation caused by freeware to budding software development industries in developing countries.
Me thots....
