If you care at all about Cisco then make sure you read the series of posts by analyst/blogger and pal Jon Arnold from the Las Vegas Cisco Partner Summit. But Jon. With all the wonderful visuals Las Vegas has to offer…can you take some more “attractive” photos with the Nokia N93… 🙂
When I was in London recently I saw the SSID for this river side WiFi cloud. It is a very ambitious project, but it’s not a mesh network, which is why it will work very well with Voice and Video. They’re using Bel Air access points just like Cheetah Wireless is doing in Las Vegas.
Everyone is counting Vonage out, and I’m not exactly not doing that, but while I think that they are not that far from dead, I do believe the current company as it sits is in huge trouble, which is stating the obvious. 2.2 million customers at an average of 20 dollars a month is 40 … Read more

As background I was a huge fan of Helio from the start. I believed that Sky Dayton was onto something. In the beginning I received press releases, media kits and everything and I became even more impressed. Then, the info stopped flowing. Now it seems to have started again. What was funny was now that … Read more
Barrons has a story about how Comcast is poised to pass Vonage as the USA’s number one VoIP provider. What’s more interesting is how the story clearly points out how the cable guys are winning the battle over both the startups and the telcos. This is not a surprise to those of us in the … Read more
A report on Hoovers has the Earthlink and SK Telecom backed Helio bleeding cash and possibly on the ropes.
