I am hoping I have presented this idea in a format that might easily integrate with most of your existing infrastructure.

RESELLER SWITCHBOARD IVR PLAN
This would be a great Business product. I also envision that VOIPo could market the Hosted Switchboard that I currently cited as a Reseller provided Asterisk server.

By hosting from a Data center, you could host many switchboards and charge the Reseller $25/month Switchboard Plan, plus charge a Fee/month for each Managed Switchboard resold. Perhaps include one switchboard to the Reseller Plan.

I don't expect this at Launch, but it would be great if it fit into your long-term design goals, so it could be a seamless addition in the future.

In theory, the PBX should allow inbound Skype calls too.

As a second wave of services, you could provide a more expensive Live Switchboard add-on product. VOIPo would have the volume to support such a venture.
