The Atlanta Journal Constitution ran a story over the weekend, first reported here on VoIPWatch on Friday about the new BellSouth VoIP service being offered that is powered by 8×8’s Packet 8 platform. It seems that BellSouth does not appear to be fully wedded to Packet 8 yet, judging by the comment made in the … Read more
Back in the late summer/early fall David Sparks of eWeek checked in to get my views on Skype. For some reason the story just ran in eWeek. These comments were all given prior to the eBay acquisition of it.
As if Skype didn’t have enough to worry about with Yahoo, now it seems their lack of any real technical infrastructure and their so called “super nodes” an issue in my book. Anyway what I’ve noticed is that of late Skype is not acting like an IM client, but more like a store and forward … Read more
My ninth grade world history teacher, Royal Black, a regal African American if I ever met one, and also an amazing teacher, was the first person to ever use the line to me ‘history always repeats.’ Like my college freshman Economics 1 professor Dr. McKenna who said “short term loss, long term gain” Anyway, in … Read more

I say, given what has been announced, but not yet in anyone’s hands that Yahoo’s Communications team has been engaging in journalistic foreplay with all of us and … Read more
Skype can’t buy a break. First the company out of Atlanta says they have proven they can block Skype traffic now the open source community, the same group that was so high on Skype when it first came to life, seems to be picking on the eBay owned company. Om, who seems to never sleep … Read more
A report in the wind from a Penalty Box resident tells me that Packet8 is doing something in Gainsville Florida with BellSouth for a new VoIP play. I hear it’s a trial, but if true that’s good news for Packet8. The left side of the web page makes one think it’s certainly true. Either that … Read more
