While not asterisk specific related - would be interesting to see
something similar done against straight voip calls.
You could maybe plot it against e.164.org polls but I think this would
be too small a sample set.

Can anyone think of something else Asterisk related we could plot this
against?

Cheers,
Dean

Totally stumbled across this really interesting post

I cant comment on how accurate it is but looks like someone has tried to
do some really interesting research on number of skype users compared to
people awake on a rolling 24 hour basis.

Would be interesting to see some other applications tracked against this
- twitter posts per minute maybe?

Wow Drew, I had no idea someone from Oanda was a subscriber to the
Asterisk list (and therefore an asterisk user company?).

Just wanted to say you guys run a fantastic sight and I've been a long
time user for at least the last 2 years.


Now for the irony part of your email. I found it interesting with
regards to global penetration and world population.

I'd also be interested in seeing some comparisons where this goes
against the trend.

Eg would love to see a transaction per hour chart for Oanda on a global
basis (though I don't know what your customer spread is).

I've already sent this email to the creator of twitter vision to see if
he can do something similar against tweets per hour on a rolling basis.

I'd also love to see something truly global like SMS use which is pretty
much a global application. Something like number of SMS's sent per hour
across the various countries over a 24 hour period would be hugely
interesting (well to me anyway).

Yes Dean,

we do use Asterisk at OANDA. We've been running our office on it for 2
years now and the call centre's 1st Asterisk anniversary was April 1!

Glad you like our site, we've just launched FXGame Mobile
(http://fxlabs.oanda.com) for the gadget lover and FXGlobal Transfer for
ex-pat Aussies to send their money home.

Perhaps I should have added a smiley for my fellow North Americans but I
think my analysis is valid. Perhaps the interesting points is that % of
Skype users seems to be fairly uniform across cultures around the world
although perhaps a little higher in Europe (a.m. usage while North
Americans are still sleeping). I suspect that this is due to the call
billing structure in Europe. They make the North American telcos look
positively philanthropic.

regards,

Drew
