Aswath responds to Richard Stastny’s requiem for SIP. Perhaps he should have said, “news of SIP’s death is bit premature.” SIP has a long future ahead, the Bellheads will modify their views on networking and services, and SKYPE will remain something of a force along with many other new and misunderstood technologies that are starting … Read more
Om says Verizon should walk and likely spur a proxy fight. I say he’s right. Start with the fact that Verizon now owns a huge chunk of MCI via the Carlos Slim sale, and then add in that MCI will have to cough up 250 Million smackers for breaking up the deal they agreed to … Read more
A European Blogger I’ve started to read was misquoted and has clarified his statements about Skype and their Valuation. Rodrigo A. SEPULVEDA SCHULZ writes some interesting material, and while it’s not all VoIP, it’s very heartfelt and thought through.
AOL’s new phone service, that everyone seems to forget is called CallWays got touted along with the forthcoming Comcast Digital Voice service in a bay area online publication.

That’s the indication if you read between the lines beneath Austrian ENUM pundit Richard Stastny writes in his post he may be onto to something. A few weeks back I said that companies should not be religious about their technology. The same goes … Read more
Ex Frost and Sullivan Analyst Jon Arnold has some final thoughts on VoN Canada, with a focus on Telus. On the subject of analysts, I keep hearing rumors that Probe Research has died a quiet death. One of my favorite VoIP analysts, and sometimes wine drinking pal, Danny Klein has left Yankee Group. Seems right … Read more
The unconfirmed Qualcomm aspects of this post in Gizmodo aside, Firetide, whose mesh WiFi technology is second to none of what I’ve seen and used, has invaded Europe and the VoIP aspects of having FireTide in the network makes for a hot concept.
