Mark Evans from his perch in the great white north, has an observation in the last line of this post about Packet 8’s announcement that Tom’s Hardware rates them the best, all based on one line in the entire report, which is an opinion of Russell Shaw of ZDNet and VoN magazine. In reading over … Read more
As more and more of the service providers and wireless carriers seem to realize that WiFi and WiMax are the next offerings, and valuable for them both in order to offer a true Foreplay (I know how it’s supposed to be spelled but I think more will come down the road from them all) the … Read more
When I saw this, I thought, why doesn’t Broadvoice or VoicePulse, both of which have very good SIP integration with the WiFi phones that are out there. The opportunity to penetrate a market like the Twin Cities is too obvious. You have a very literate, highly business oriented culture, with enough edgy types already hailing … Read more

Telstra Launches Global VoIP Solution was blogged by pal Tom Keating. I’m still getting back up to speed after two weeks in Europe. The blog army though has been hard at work. Om, Tom and others have all kept the pipeline filled with information and insight. What’s interesting about this announcement from Telstra is the fact … Read more
Vonage understand the media and the power of the blobs very well. The recent 911 incident in Texas, which really is only bad for Vonage if the user had set up the 911 service with them correctly, and the ClearWire incident involving the blocking of Vonage service on ClearWire, only goes to prove that they are now … Read more
Om presents an interesting case about Clearwire. While they have admitted to blocking Vonage one has to remember that they are still in trial mode.
