Andy Abramson I feel like I lost a friend. Like someone died…only no one did, except a blog. I’ve been a reader of James Enck EuroTelcoblog from almost the start of his blogging days, and was, I think, one of the early VoIP bloggers who started to link to him. He was someone who I could run … Read more
Client Craig Walker at GrandCentral, a service I use everyday, has made a noble gesture of sorts, thanking Vonage for being the fire starter for VoIP. In many ways he’s right.
