That's certainly been our experience over the last 9 months or so we've been involved with Asterisk. The bigger companies don't seem particularly interested (or if they are, they have their own staff to handle it), but for small businesses Asterisk is an excellent alternative to either a poorly-featured but reasonably low cost PBX or spending a lot of money on a PBX with a good featureset via a hire-purchase agreement or similar. Personally, I've also found deploying asterisk servers at clients' sites is a great way to offer them other ongoing services. Often the * box is the only Linux box on-site, isn't under much load especially during non-working hours, so things like backup services can be sold to clients without any capital purchases on your part.
