I thought with SBC based in Texas that this would have been a lay-up for the incumbents, but I guess the cable lobby did a better job. Basically this means for IPTV service to be delivered to a community, the Baby Bells will have to go through the franchise process, just like the cable companies … Read more
TelcoTrash has a report about VoIP regulation in Italy. What I think is interesting is that they have separated Skype (and I guess all P2P telephony) from PSTN replacement by VoIP.
With the holiday weekend upon me I missed this great post by Martin Geddes on Skype features he wants. I can’t think of more right now, but give Martin credit for thinking about this.

After doing some quick research (I read the package and saw it worked with a MAC OS) I have switched to 802.11a/b/g from Netgear inside the house. Everything else works, but now when I’m on the Mac, I’m running 802.11a. What’s it give me…Faster speeds and better connectivity. As far as I can tell, I’m … Read more
