Dean Bubley on Cord Cutting

I’m a wine lover, but I still have a traditional landline, VoIP lines and mobile phones, plus of course Mobile VoIP. So I found pal Dean Bubley’s post about the stats and relevance around “cord cutting” very interesting.

Gizmo’s New Features

J.A. Watson chats about the new “text” chatting features found in the latest version of Gizmo. But the commentary by J.A. is only an appetizer, as this post from the Crab Apple Forrest blog is one to really sink your teeth into.

If you want to know about another player in the mobile VoIP space called TringMe, check out Ken Camp’s long post. It tells me a lot, maybe more than TringMe would have. Way to go Ken.

Life After VON

I just read Jon Arnold’s piece about “Life After VON.” It’s worth a read. Candidly, at this point VON is history in many people’s minds, but not mine.

Verizon Makes You Think It’s 1984

I just read the latest post from Judi Sohn, who in another daypart is one of the folks at GigaOm’s Web Worker Daily as editor.

WiFi Up, WiFi Down

Earthlink is bagging it in Philadelphia and wants to take their equipment home. Damn carpetbaggers. But, I recall saying at a past MuniWiFi event that given what I know about the politicians in my home town I’m not surprised at the deal that was done and the problems that are arising from it. If there’s … Read more
