Skype Takes Share, Upgrades iPhone App

January 19, 2010

Skype is now the largest provider of cross border communications in the world, by far according to a new report from TeleGeography. According to the research company, the rate of international calling has been growing at a steady compounded rate of 15% but in the last few years the slope has decreased as a result of the recession and of course, people switching to Skype.

Apple Tablet Optimized for Books, News

January 18, 2010

It seems based on numerous reports that the Apple tablet will be optimized for books and newspapers meaning we may see some very innovative screen technology when the device is released. Why? Well e-readers generally don't use the same screens as laptops due to the battery life issues as well as long-term readability. And Apple is not one to generally follow the pack so we can expect a full-color, gesture-based reader which for all practical purposes will be an iPhone on steroids.

Perhaps most interesting is that if the technology is very good, it can potentially be applied to future iPhones and iPods meaning extended battery life for these devices and perhaps better readability.

January 18, 2010

I am here at the Loews -- the show hotel at ITEXPO East 2010 in Miami and when I checked in I got a branded key from Digium/Asterisk to remind me to stop by the open-source communications leader's booth later this week.

Conan O'Brien Mentioned in ITEXPO Interview

January 16, 2010

As my readers know I spent a great deal of time interviewing (with a bunch of help from my editorial team - thanks team) speakers and other participants at ITEXPO and related events for the express purpose of giving attendees and others the chance to get the perspective of some of the best and brightest in the industry. To liven things up, I almost always ask a question which I hope will add some spice to an interview.

When I asked Mike Campbell, Director of Product Management, Solutions, for Sigma Systems, to make an outrageous prediction for 2010 he decided to make his about Conan O'Brien - check it out - pretty funny.

Smart Buildings remind me of the CTI/VoIP Opportunity

January 15, 2010

For telecom veterans who were active in the communications space in the nineties you remember the excitement the industry enjoyed when Microsoft and Novell entered the telecom markets with TAPI and TSAPI protocols to interconnect communications systems with computers. The CTI or computer telephony integration space was born when the OS companies realized that by enabling telecom systems to be more tightly integrated with computing, they could in effect start to generate revenue by having new telecom systems built on their open platforms. Prior to this time, any sort of integration cost hundreds of thousands of dollars but CTI solutions based on desktop computers could be built for $10,000 to $15,000.

I couldn't help but think about this market as I read an article on connected buildings from Erin Harrison which resides on the Smart Data Center community.
