I spend a lot of time in France and one of my peeves has been the lack of PrePaid data rates. Well, not any more. Now with Orange France for 9 Euros a month you can get some type of pre-paid data. This is a boon for me, as I’m really loving my Nokia E90 … Read more
Hot on the heels of the PhoneBoy discovery about iSkoot, and all the corrective action the iSkoot team has taken, comes another interesting post. This post, from Martin Sauter of Germany, shows that G711 VoIP over WiFi can be snagged.
Sadly I’m not in San Francisco until next Sunday night, but this new GigaOm PM Meetup sounds like a pretty cool idea.
PhoneBoy and to some extent Dan York get the gold stars here. Both are security experts and have a real expertise in Voice. Dan hosts a regular podcast and Dameon does a wide range of blogging. But at heart both are white hat hackers, and what Dameon did in finding the flaw in a released … Read more

I totally agree though with the closing line though, and it mirrors my advice some years back where I suggested consumers choose a company that will be around.
GigaOm’s Texas Rose Stacey Higginbotham tells us that AT&T has hotspots running in San Antonio. Yesterday KenRadio’s Ken Rutkowski told me he was in a New York City Starbucks on an AT&T connection and was already doing his best imitation of me…Complaining about the speeds vs. what they used to be like. Wanna guess which … Read more
Alec asks an interesting question about Broadsoft and like before when their PR department played something wrong in the blogosphere they’ve done it again by creating more questions than providing answers. All they needed to do was reveal who some of their top developers are. I can easily guess and I’ll win the bet of … Read more
In a short and polite but still corrective email I was notified by iSkoot that my guess that they were supplying Skype with the mobile client for 30 new handsets was incorrect. They’re not…..HMMMM. That makes me realize some things, and apparently, so too is PhoneBoy who seems to have identified a very interesting problem … Read more
