Where is the Broadband Competition?

January 5, 2005

If you want to read about the depressing state of telecom in the US then please click on Bells dig in to dominate high-speed Internet Realm. The ILECs are killing competition in the country and the government is going along as a willing accomplice. The question remains, is it fair to force the Bells to share fiber that they go through great expense to lay down. I am beginning to think more and more that the answer is 100% yes.

Abramson's VoIP Tech Toys Arm Merchants

January 5, 2005

Andy Abramson is exactly right when he talks about the tech toys arms merchants as where the industry is going. If we have learned one thing in the last few years its that even when times are tough consumers are spending on gadgets such as MP3 players and video games. The key to winning the VoIP service provider wars may just be selling the coolest, hippest, flashiest gadget. Like I have said before, when I write about VoIP 2.0, I am waiting for the VoIPOD to come to stores near you (well hopefully at least me

Cordless and VoIP Phone in one

January 5, 2005

I never heard of Giant International but they seem to be the first company to have come out with a cordless and VoIP phone in one. It is great to see the WiFi telephony market start to accelerate. The price is reasonable as well.

Consumer VoIP Summit

January 5, 2005

I have written frequently about the merging of VoIP with consumer electronics and how service providers should be looking at the Apple model of selling service via slick devices. When we talk of convergence everyone thinks of something different from communications convergence to digital homes but it seems like all industries are really converging. Cameras are now cell phones are now video recorders are now DVD players are now video game devices.Perhaps the best sign of convergence is the fact that tomorrow, SBC Communications Inc Chairman and CEO Edward Whitacre Jr. will be keynoting CES and taking about the merging of communications and consumer electronics.This is one of the reasons that we chose to work with Pulver.com and have TMC's Internet Telephony Magazine help promote their Consumer VoIP Summit which is collocated with CES. You can read more about this summit on Jeff's Blog.

Blogs Define the Digital Divide

January 4, 2005

Talk about digital divide! The Pew Internet & Life Project released a recent study saying that 6 million Americans get their news via blogs, a 58% increase! The flipside is that 62% of Americans don't know what a Blog is! Oh yes and another 8 million people are creating blogs.

Vonage WiFi Telephony News From CES

January 4, 2005

Recently engadget reported that Vonage has a WiFi phone, the F-1000. I expect a number of WiFi telephony announcements to come from CES. I recently blogged about new WiFi telephony chips which will make designing WiFi telephony devices as easy as ever. WiFi telephony will really become a hit when every cell phone can jump on a WiFi network.

Tom Keating writes about the humble beginnings of VoIP

January 3, 2005

Tom Keating writes about the humble beginnings of VoIP and is absolutely correct in saying that it was first written about in TMC's CTI Magazine in 1996. What surprises me is how much coverage we gave this nascent field. I did some searches on back issues and it is interesting that the term Internet telephony was very popular in those days and VoIP was hardly ever used. I thought it would be beneficial to post one of these old issues (Jan-Feb 1997) of CTI Magazine online for all to see.
