Everyone loves to hate Microsoft. I don’t. I’m a fan, shareholder and they sponsor KenRadio, but all that aside one has to look at what Microsoft is about. They make technology a consumer good. While other companies look to gain a few points in the market or flourish in a sea of me toos but … Read more
Bob Emmerson of VON Magazine has a short article today about Nimcat Networks and Popular Telephony and their coming to market efforts. I had an opportunity to see Popular Telephony’s technology in action last week. It does work and very well.
Tom Keating found a new player. SiPZoo. They seem to be softphone ready and ATA neutral versus locking you in to a device. That sure makes it easy to switch and upgrade. Just make sure you know your settings and where to place them. Keating also drew my attention to TelPhin, a Russian based VoIP … Read more

QWEST announced the rollout of OneFlex earlier today. What I find interesting is they’re charging for off net calls like they always have. No bundling as with the new players in VoIP.
Cox Communications made an announcement about their second market for VoIP. Tulsa, OK. What bugs me is the FUD they are spreading about VoIP via other carriers vs. their product. Since they have tier one peering with AT&T what’s the big deal…..Someone needs a reality check at Cox, especially since the Cox family holds a … Read more
The VoIP Weblog has a post about TimeWarner Cable in New York offering Digital Telephony. The headline calls it VoIP. I’m not so sure, but being in Lyon France right now, it’s a bit hard to get too concerned. Like Cox and a few other cable companies, Digital Telephony has been around for a while. … Read more
I’ve been in Europe less than a week, and have yet to use my Telephone adapters from either Vonage or AT&T CallVantage. Before I left I was in four hotels on the east coast and in none of them could I get the AT&T telephone adapter to work, even behind my Linksys router. Luckily in … Read more
