I got quotted in a very interesting story on VoIP security.

As many of you know who have been long time readers, I have been very concerned about Port Blocking, first from the streaming media content distribution sector, but knowing how the implications could impact VoIP. If Mr. Blog is correct, and I have no reason to doubt him, it appears BT in their wisdom has … Read more

In a story that started within USA Today that was syndicated by parent Gannet News Service it seems the reviewers experience with Skype was less than desirable. What was interesting is they chose to compare AT&T’s CallVantage to it. saying: Alas, Skype is flawed compared with other VoIP options, even though they cost more. For … Read more

Jeff Pulver has some very interesting things to say about the VoIP revolution. It is one of the most sober, clear thinking and on the mark type of interviews I have read from anyone in the space. Given how Jeff clearly has been the VoIP cheerleader for 10 years or more, his classy remarks are … Read more

Basically, for under $30 dollars a month you can recive all the calls you want from London, and have unlimited USA calling. … Read more

Ted Shelton is one of my favorite bloggers. He brings things to light that other miss like this post about Qualcomm. I live in the shadow of Qualcomm and have many friends who are employed there in the marketing and technology groups. All of that is fine, and while I recognize that they have some … Read more

James Enck has an unfair advantage, he’s in London, so news about Skype dropping their prices hits him first. That’s why he’s clearly worth reading. The question on my mind is not how low can prices go with telco. Everyone knows the PTT’s and RBOC’s have been milking the market for years. The real question … Read more

Score one for Jonathan Greene for finding out the news about who won the review for Vonage’s 50-75 million dollar ad account. My gut says Vonage will continue to heavily use the Internet to attract customers but also start to do some very targeted traditional media. A lot of new technology is out there to … Read more
