Yahoo's new Messenger head talks about where they are going. Best quotable quote. There are more people in the US still using rotary dial phones than there are Vonage customers.

(Note, this was recorded on my iPod with iTalk, it is not meant to be IT Conversations. In a few weeks I'm sure many of these will be available there)

Jeff Pulver announces the impending the release of another "Communicator" sometime late this summer. Does that mean the current Communicator is toast? Will Jeff still support SIP? How will this fit with his current center staging of Skype in VON programs? Will P.C emerge as a HGC like deal? Would Jeff like to get his hands on Skype USA? He's already got influence seemingly on the legal side.

I'm looking at doing a new release of p.C before the end of the summer that is unlocked from the start and I hope to offer a new build sometime after that which supports the GIPS wideband codec. I just have some business and technology issues to work out in between.

I'm also working on a re-launch of the FWD website. I've decided to take a "Geek Approach" - I'm not exactly sure what this will evolve into but it will be different than what we currently have, and what we had before.
