Andy Abramson Om Malik on Broadband » Harsh Truths about MCI-Qwest Merger My view is bit more cruel. Watch MCI not get sold as a whole, but instead for some of its parts. It’s called a breakup.

Skype Phone Review: Siemens M34 Wireless DECT Handset – Digital-Lifestyles.info is rather glowing. I only hope that Siemens has gotten the Gigasets to live longer than six months.

Instat’s Take on the Telecom Battle via Tom Keating. Good find Tommy-boy. But the folks at InStat don’t know branding. AT&T’s brand is very valuable, especially outside the USA. Now SBC just got a global reach too.
Mark Evans :: AOL’s VOIP Strategy our friends to the north already have a version of AOL’s VoIP play. My guess is we will see something even more impressive from them. AOL is not sitting back and being idle in their efforts. With AIM as a front end to VoIP you get lots of power to … Read more
