I missed the announcement about Packet8 raising consumer rates, which Ted Wallingford caught while I was at DEMO earlier this week. I don’t think it is any kind of surprise that 8×8 is moving in this direction. They want to target the more lucrative business market, which they’ll have to play major catch-up to go … Read more
