VoIP Provider Cost Comparisons

by

While not 100 percent perfect, this ranking system and database from MyVoIPProvider.com, is a huge eye opener when it comes to seeing what’s out there in the way of competition. While also not complete, they list 516 suppliers, the listings and ranking based only on cost, but it is a starting point. I’m not in … Read more

Skype Killer App

by

Russell has found a literal Skype Killer that will make only the most sadistic IT manager smile. I say sadistic because on one hand Skype is a runaway hit with everyone who uses it. It’s usage saves the company money, adds efficiencies and economies of scale so the accountants have to be happy on the … Read more

Om On Skype

by

A great piece about the current state of Skype. Om mentions the Radio Shack deal which I caught on Friday but due to travel just missed blogging it.

I made a few Skype calls, talking with John Appler of Popular Telephony who is based in Silicon Valley. Then I … Read more

I say that because Zennstrom has no reason to return to the USA, now or ever short of the government freezing his eBay assets. Oh, … Read more

A Travel Day

by

Today I begin a stint on the road (again) working from airports, hotels and a client’s office. In addition I get to try out (I hope) the Boeing in-flight WiFi service as I fly to Europe. As a result, postings will be reduced for a short time today. Anyone on Skype or Gizmo Project who … Read more
