O'Reilly Media and StrikeIron are organizing a Telephony Mashup Contest – see the rules of the contest.

**It would be nice to see The Programmable Web add a new classification and stats for mobile mashups (or mashups that offer mobility)
Combine the above with tools and services on the web from Asterisk, Tellme, Sylantro, Iotum, Voxeo, and iptel.org SIP Express Router, together with services on the web from Google, Yahoo! and Amazon, and a pretty cool mashup can be created…
The contest is only open to U.S. residents, and registration must be turned in no later than February 20, 2007 at midnight. Prizes are: 1st $1,500, 2nd $1,000, and 3rd $500, plus bragging rights.
