TechDirt’s Mike Masnick has a very to the point post about Verizon being beaten in court by Cox Communications. This reminds me of other cases where companies believe its better to settle than fight, an approach Vonage appeared to have chosen. Cox fought, and WON. Verizon pushed and pushed, backing Vonage into a corner. In … Read more
For the sake of transparency Jazinga is an agency client. And like so many of our agency’s clients, this company has something really special. That’s why it’s so rewarding to see others whom I respect take such a liking to the Jazinga box.
Lee Dryburgh has quietly begun to put the word out about eComm, perhaps the most important of all telecom conferences of the year ahead in 2009. The new web site is up, and while Lee is still pulling a lot of the pieces together, the one good thing is he’s moved to the original home … Read more
It’s logical to presume that the Samsung P270 may become the first 3G/Dual mode device in T-Mobile USA’s arsenal when the phone arrives in the USA. TMO already does UMA, they have a new 3G network launching and they need differentiation.

Bets are it will be either Counterpath’s eyeBeam or SipPhone’s Gizmo Project client as they are both multi-platform, but I give Gizmo the edge as … Read more
It’s great to see two friends (and clients) finish first. While I’m a few days late to the congratulatory circle, I have to say, it feels great to know that two very close friends, Thomas (Professor Mashup) Howe and Shai Berger (Fonolo) have captured very impressive crowns this past week in different competitions. First was … Read more
For the record, when Michael Robertson came to me with his views about Skype I suggested he post a guest editorial. He went one step further and wrote a full letter to Skype and sent me a copy with permission to post here on VoIPwatch. He’s not a client of my agency, nor are he … Read more
Information Week’s Serdar Yegulalp is calling client ifByPhone the “Single Coolest Thing Done With Open Source at the Web 2.0 show.” This is one more example of “phone mashups” garnering attention. Phone mashups are applications. And applications are where the money is.
