SBC, AT&T Merge?

January 27, 2005

Om Malik sums up nicely the talks between SBC and AT&T which were reported also by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times this AM. With the purchase of AT&T, SBC would have a better entry into the business market as well as making the company a national brand. The way I see it, they can also continue to run with the CallVantage product. Rumors of Vonage being acquired have been circulating for over a year as well.

Inauguration Fund

January 26, 2005

Who wrote the checks for the 2005 inauguration fund? According to the Public Citizen's Congress Watch, these companies in the communications space contributed. A number of lobbying firms did as well and Piper Rudnick is the only one I recognize in telecom although there could be others. Pretty interesting reading.

1&1 Fastest-Growing Web Host

January 26, 2005

I received this release today and was blown away at the staggering growth of 1&1 Internet. These guys prove that marketing works and if anything they have been over-marketing. They have blown away their competition. I don't even know who is number two in this market.

VoIP Doesn't Work?

January 26, 2005

Gotta love ZDnet. Sensationalism sells... We all know this but are they taking it too far? They ran an article recently titled, VoIP: Has the dream of convergence failed? I am not sure what the point of the story is except to reiterate what everyone knows -- that data networks aren't as reliable as voice networks yet. Sure convergance is not perfect but I think using the term "failed" and "VoIP" together may be a bit premature.

Ebbers on Trial

January 26, 2005

Om writes about Ebbers on trial in his Blog today. He sums up nicely how the trial will look and reiterates what is on the line... 30 years in jail if found guilty.

I for one and happy to see a CEO being held responsible for corporate fraud. As an outsider I find it impossible to beleive he didn't know about what was going on. I wonder what a CEO does if not understand the numbers in a company end ensure sales booked are being made. Sure a fraudulent salesperson can fudge a number or two... But billions? Lets see how this plays out.

Vonexus Connection Wrap Up

January 25, 2005

I am finished up with my speech at Vonexus Connection and am ready to head to the airport soon. The venue for this event could not have been more perfect as it is in Las Vegas (actually nearby Summerlin) but at least 30 minutes from the strip. The exact location is a the JW Marriot. I am pretty impressed with the hotel...

Blog Withdrawal

January 24, 2005

If no one has coined the phrase yet, let me be the first… Blog Withdrawal or the inability to share your thoughts with millions (ok I may be getting a bit ambitious here) or at least thousands of people. I blogged thrice on the airplane and couldn’t post anything and nothing could be more frustrating.

To make matters worse there was a three-hour or so delay once we boarded. I knew we were in for a bad time when I opened my Bistro Bag and found and ice scraper and mini-shovel.

Packet8 VideoPhone

January 24, 2005

I got to thinking lately that one of the very suggestions I made to service providers has been successfully implemented and sold by Packet8 for over a year. I have been encouraging service providers to strive to provide consumer electronic devices such as cool new WiFi phones as differentiators. What an amazingly sticky way of providing service if these devices don’t work with other VoIP providers. Of course I am in no way discouraging SIP and open standards but I am a realist.
