Telepocalypse by Martin Geddes: Skype segments Martin is talking Balkanization of mobile phone traffic. I see the MVNO called Skype Wireless coming. It doesn’t need to be run by SKYPE. All it needs to do is carry their branding. Heck, Earthlink already does it so why can’t SKYPE, YAHOO, MSN, AOL…cable companies, etc….and you wonder why … Read more

Thankfully between all my UM (unified messaging) features with CallVantage or Communikate, I’m easily found (when I want to … Read more

The New York Times > Technology > Verizon Agrees to Acquire MCI for $6.6 Billion, Beating Qwest I think Capellas should be hired by HP. He’s a proven factor, he was already part of COMPAQ and what he did in record time with MCI shows he understands how to work Wall Street. He’s also much … Read more
