Sun Unified Communications Solutions

Sun is getting into the unified communications game with the aid of Mitel. This is great as IBM is big player in the space and having an alternative vendor like SUN is great for companies who are looking for options.

Meed I even mention how big a role Microsoft is playing in this space?

As you may recall, I covered Sun's offerings in communications and the expanding Mitel relationship about a year ago.

What is unknown is whether SUN will be looking to work with other vendors besides Mitel on this initiative.

This linux-based solution starts at $9,000 and can support up to 5,000 phones per server.

Greg Galitzine has the details of this news if you are interested in learning more.

Google API for Calendar and Contacts

In case you missed it, Google is opening up a great deal allowing other applications to sync with their calendar and contacts applications. This means it will be that much easier for people to seamlessly try the suite of Google applications which are being rolled out at a rapid clip.

None of this could be good for any competitors of course and Google will get just that much more free ink as a result of this move.

Fred Goldstein on Net Neutrality

Just when you thought you knew everything you need to know about the net neutrality debate and the controversy involving the FCC, Comcast and BitTorrent... There is more. A fantastic article from Fred Goldstein of ionary Consulting sums up what you need to know.

Here is an excerpt:

This sounds like a motherhood-and-apple-pie kind of debate. Who wants their ISP to tell them what they can and cannot do? But it’s really not so simple. The Internet is fundamentally broken, and it’s getting worse. Throwing money and Moore’s Law at it has helped, but it can’t go on forever. The deep dark secret of the Internet’s business model is finally coming home to roost. Economics is sometimes called the Dismal Science, and here’s a case where the term really seems to apply.
