Lee Dryburgh has quietly begun to put the word out about eComm, perhaps the most important of all telecom conferences of the year ahead in 2009. The new web site is up, and while Lee is still pulling a lot of the pieces together, the one good thing is he’s moved to the original home … Read more
It’s logical to presume that the Samsung P270 may become the first 3G/Dual mode device in T-Mobile USA’s arsenal when the phone arrives in the USA. TMO already does UMA, they have a new 3G network launching and they need differentiation.
The last 16 hours or so have been surreal for me and ironic. My mom passed away, at the same time my flight from Newark to London took off. I found out shortly after landing from my wife, who was at the hospital when mom joined my late father in heaven. Helene’s first words were … Read more
Tom Keating of TMC writes up the Jazinga box. Unlike Tom, I’ve been using my box up until the latest round of home remodeling, and can only give it the highest form of compliments. It’s VoIPWatch approved. Now for the sake of transparency, we’ve been helping the leadership of Jazinga get their box out and … Read more

Dan York takes a both sides of the street approach to the public discussion between Skype and GizmoProject about SIP and Skype and being more … Read more
Some may call this trolling, but I have to air these thoughts out: 1. T-Mobile or Three will create a true VOIP play complete with a softclient for the PC. Bets are it will be either Counterpath’s eyeBeam or SipPhone’s Gizmo Project client as they are both multi-platform, but I give Gizmo the edge as … Read more
It’s great to see two friends (and clients) finish first. While I’m a few days late to the congratulatory circle, I have to say, it feels great to know that two very close friends, Thomas (Professor Mashup) Howe and Shai Berger (Fonolo) have captured very impressive crowns this past week in different competitions. First was … Read more
Rich Tehrani refers to a post earlier that I made about the possibility of Google buying Skype and suggests a few others. While Google has the bucks to make the buy, as does Cisco and Oracle, I don’t see the latter two jumping in. They like to be enterprise friendly, and Skype is perceived as … Read more
