Despite all the help that iBahn offered, it seemed that a card that handles a batch of the rooms at the hurricane impacted Marriott Marina in Fort Lauderdale, FL could not be fixed. The solution. I moved down the block to the Renaissance Hotel, another Marriott property. Not only are the rooms nicer, the broadband … Read more
There’s more value in Net2Phone these days, with their being awarded a patent. This is likely part of what they are supplying to MCI (shhh it’s supposed to be a secret) and the rest of their customer base to keep things working better. Congrats to the team there for the award and all that goes … Read more
Sonus is looking more and more like the company they wanted to be when they started in the 90s, and seem to be laying a heap of hurt on the likes of Lucent as they keep winning business within the VoIP industry.

Next to the concept of Interactive Television, it’s the second most mentioned concept in technology meets consumer circles. But it’s a myth. We have silos. First there is the mobile operators.

Something many of us have suspected, and now know for sure, Yahoo likes to keep their relationship with bloggers nice and warm, unlike some other VoIP brands that do a very good job at alienating, or ignoring, and just ducking the questions from the blogosphere.
