...with respect to Google voice.
I would like to see a video regarding all the features that Obihai offers in a way that delineates it from the features that can be obtained using Google Voice alone.
For example, versus using VoIP directly with Google Voice. These might include
Number establishment and changability
Security
Your point to point features
(As examples)
I am not clear on whether GV permits adding a phone without an existing phone number, but via its MAC address.
The same might be said for other providers, but the Google example should prove insightful.

Google Voice requires an existing phone number to open an account.
Long live our new ObiLords!

You will have to wait for somebody with a lot of money and/or free time on their hands. Until then, you will have to settle for documentation and posts on this forum.

There is really only one feature that needs to be mentioned. GV can be used without having a computer running at the same time.

An extension of that is that the Obi as a GV gateway makes using the service as transparent as possible.

I would happily make these videos but I don't believe demand warrants the production.  If I monetize a video on youtube it takes around 100,000 views just to recoup my cost of making the video.  It doesn't look like OBi plans to do it. 
Long live our new ObiLords!
