Kevin Werbach tells a nice story in “ Not Your Parents’ Phone System“ and asks “Who is the biggest voice over IP service provider in the US? Every piece that adds to the VoIP stretch puzzle is worth thinking about. While he makes the point (illustrated with Gaming and IM) that VoIP isn’t the same [...]

I’m completely bored with yet another stupid P2P telephony play. Last week it was TelTel and this week it is Buzzfon. Oh and I forgot GeckoPhone Really, these aren’t newsworthy and the claims they are making are not compelling. Before saying anymore I should add I’m rather jaded so I’ve not downloaded any of these. [...] I’d like to learn more about the behavior of people that have more than 150 people on an IM buddylist. As a potential indicator of change MSN Scobleizer and AIM have recently increased the allowable size of their buddylist. AIM doubled theirs from 150 to 300. While my list of buddies is too distributed across [...] In a little item on Smart Mobs there is a post that is much more intriguing. Visiphoneuses visual aids to help you and me improve our awareness of each other. It enables a new form of visual communication to support audio and enhance the communication experience. I particularly identified with the graphics below as a [...] Is there a connection between lousy customer service and being an incumbent telecom manipulating for advantage. Perhaps only if lousy Vonage service mimics the old telecom format while incumbents work on raising consumer prices for landlines. That will squeeze them! How much longer can they survive financially? Some time ago I added a fax line [...] Combine 330 million IM business users with the 600+ million cellphones to be sold this year and think new real-time collaborative applications. Then consider presence, mobility, and commerce and then ask how you can make it all disappear. Tomorrow’s IM solutions exist for those that facilitate connectivity agents. What do I mean? Your PIM can [...] Packet Pick Pockets is the best review I’ve seen on the FCC ruling this last week. I alluded to this in my FCC post, Martin just says it so much better. The way out from the conumdrum of whether to wiretap VoIP is to understand it’s the wrong question. There’s a paradox at the heart [...] This is a great example from Eugene Kim on how to bridge the digital divide between excellent facilitation and creating a “project” that assembles up the work as one goes along. In his post Eugene explores the value of “creating a book”. What’s important here is it is not the tool (wiki) it is the [...] This links to a post written four years ago. Even then “better audio quality” was predicted for telephony. It’s part of a changing paradigm. Sometimes it takes a long time for these things to work their way through. What can a movie critic, a fat man in a tweed jacket, teach us about telephony? [...] To me via Smart Mobs. The handset is rapidly consuming every other aspect of mobile consumer electronics: PDAs, cameras, GPS receivers, MP3 players, DVD players and game consoles. In the process, the SoC companies and intellectual-property (IP) providers that had planned to make a living in each of those areas will be drawn in — [...] |
