Andy Abramson What is not any kind of surprise, AT&T is utilizing what is the core of CallVantage, their stand alone VoIP platform within the converged next generation UVerse platform that features IPTV and Wireless services. That’s if you belive Network World’s account. But my sources tell me that AT&T is not repackaging CallVantage as a U-verse … Read more
Here’s a cool way to hear about what you can expect at VONCamp, the unconference portion of VON that long time friend Carl Ford is organizing. Two of my close friends and clients are on the panel tomorrow, Alec Saunders and Thomas Howe. Both are at the cutting edge of Voice 2.0 and Web 2.0, … Read more
