[Freeswitch-users] Attrafax

[David Knell]

And don't forget the propensity of (wholesale) VoIP providers to require an NDA to be faxed (or, if you're lucky, scanned and e-mailed) before discussing pricing.

Without wishing to digress further, I find this utterly absurd, and I've yet to find a satisfactory explanation of why it should be.

  While I'd love to see FAXing just die, especially with the amount of headache associated with it, the reality is that specific organizations still rely on it heavily on a daily basis (ie Health Care and Banking/Finance Industry). Plus they can legally get away with FAXing personal data directly between machines, since the FAX transmission doesn't seem to be directly covered by all their respective privacy regultions (ie HIPAA, PCI, etc.), unless of course it's a FAX-to-email service. Plus most of these organizations just don't have the internal expertise to setup end-to-end encrypted email nor the impetus to deal with it, since FAXing works fine in their eyes. I think it's going to be around quite a while longer unless they actually stop making the FAX machines and force people to use something else.

  Cheers,
  Gabe
