Andy Abramson Below is part one of a rather unscientific blogging experiment. I’ve recorded short messages using AudioBlog over various VoIP carriers using either my cordless phones (Uniden and Olympia) or the WiFi phones from Pulver Innovations/Zyxel. Later today I’ll do some more using the TA’s from Packet 8, BroadVoice, VoicePulse, etc.
I was going to blog this too, but Om got the gist down before me. As you know I’ve regulalry said Covad overpaid for GoBeam, an unproven player in the hosted PBX business whose VC’s didn’t even want to use the technology. There’s also CallTower out there with a working business, powered by Cisco hardware. … Read more
Rumours keep flying about AOL VoIP, this time from Canada. I wonder if voice mail ends up in the AOL mail box or notifies you by AIM when you have some? Could be good, eh !

If you think it through enough, Level3 and the cable companies are getting it on rather thick. I wonder what “options” some of the cable companies are extracting from Level3 for right … Read more
Earlier in the week Vonage announced a firm date for later this month to roll out their VoIP service in the UK. Now an established U.K. player, Voicenet make some noise showing that it plans to build the reseller channel. Smart. By getting in bed with DSL resellers like EasyNet they get in front of … Read more
During the fall VON I was asked by Jeremy Wagstaff, Far East Asia columnist for the Wall Street Journal, to give him some insight about VoIP. Since I’m a regular reader and sometimes comment poster on Jeremy’s blog, LooseWire I was elated to be able to be the authority in his story. Once the WSJ … Read more
Port-of-call: Libretel’s flat-rate incoming 1-800 service Leonardo has a note about Port Of Call, the service from one of Jeff Pulver’s companies. I’ve actually used PoC to retrieve voice mail when I’m in London from my CallVantage Voice Mail service. It works as advertised. Just remember when using a cell phone to have DTMF turned on.
