Welcome to VoIP Nuke.com! SkiBare keeps peddling Level3 and gives a possible pointer to their on net, neutral carrier strategy for the MSOs. If you think it through enough, Level3 and the cable companies are getting it on rather thick. I wonder what “options” some of the cable companies are extracting from Level3 for right … Read more
Earlier in the week Vonage announced a firm date for later this month to roll out their VoIP service in the UK. Now an established U.K. player, Voicenet make some noise showing that it plans to build the reseller channel. Smart. By getting in bed with DSL resellers like EasyNet they get in front of … Read more
During the fall VON I was asked by Jeremy Wagstaff, Far East Asia columnist for the Wall Street Journal, to give him some insight about VoIP. Since I’m a regular reader and sometimes comment poster on Jeremy’s blog, LooseWire I was elated to be able to be the authority in his story. Once the WSJ … Read more
Port-of-call: Libretel’s flat-rate incoming 1-800 service Leonardo has a note about Port Of Call, the service from one of Jeff Pulver’s companies. I’ve actually used PoC to retrieve voice mail when I’m in London from my CallVantage Voice Mail service. It works as advertised. Just remember when using a cell phone to have DTMF turned on.

Of late I’ve had the blogging blahs…there is so much out there, but given the holiday season, it’s a bit slower for me and I’m a tad distracted. I’ve also had a back up system failure. The reliable Mirra box seemed to develop a bug, my system last week was hit by a Virus that … Read more
Covad has announced that they have service available in more than 900 cities nationwide. Given their footprint they are sure to become a bigger player next year.
HTC, considered the best assemblers of tiny devices like the PDA phone that is marketed by many wireless carriers really wants to piss off their customers in the cell phone business–THE CARRIERS. They want to bundle in Skype with Microsoft Smartphones. I think Microsoft may be concerned too, but not that much. For Skype to … Read more
Packet8 gets to the heart of the matter this holiday season. Kids. And they’re making sure that the kids who find themselves inside Childrens Hospital in cities around the United States don’t miss the chance to virtually see Santa Claus thanks to their videophone service. My view though remains that if companies which are thinking … Read more
