VoIP URLs Fast and Furious

November 30, 2004

The number of domain name registrations mentioning VoIP hasnt stopped growing. I have been monitoring these for a while as they are a great indicator of new products and services that will be coming out in the future. Consider these the tea leaves of the industry. Some of these are just country specific applications such as IrelandVoip.com but where it gets interesting is when terms like SIP and ENUM are thrown is as well. I hope you find this useful. These were all registered yesterday or November 30, 2004. avoips.net

VoIP the FCC and Freedom of Speech

November 29, 2004

Here is a great article on VoIP the FCC and Freedom of Speech.Excerpt:  NOVEMBER 29, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) - It must be tough being America's nanny, especially when there's so much real work to do. Michael Powell, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, and his feckless colleagues are on a roll these days. They're chasing so-called indecency from the airwaves with a zeal we haven't seen in decades, causing broadcasters to turn what's already a Pablum medium into even worse junk. What does this have to do with the world of business and IT?

Skype Opens API Beta

November 17, 2004

This is an announcement that Niklas Zennstrm mentioned at Internet Telephony in LA but this is an elaboration of the program. This could be considered a direct assault on the growth of SIP devices and products.

Liz Claiborne Inc. Receives Ciscos 4 Millionth IP Telephone

November 17, 2004

A good gauge of the growth rate of enterprise VoIP can be summed up with the following excerpt: It took us 4-and-a-half years to sell our first 2 million IP phones and only 14 months to climb from 2 million to 4 million phones sold to customers, said Barry OSullivan, vice president and general manager for Ciscos IP Communications Business Unit. If you break it out, that equates to a rate of 37,000 phones per month for the first 4.5 years while the more recent rate is 143,000 phones per month. Interestingly a similar trend is happening across medium and small enterprises as well. These growth rates are indicative of the entire enterprise market based on my conversations with vendors in the industry.

Nortel dumps bandwidth exchange suit

November 10, 2004

CNET had an article today on Nortel dropping its bandwidth exchange suit against Arbinet. Here is an excerpt.Nortel Networks said Tuesday it is dropping a copyright infringement lawsuit against Arbinet's Thexchange, which buys and sells bandwidth and telephone voice minutes. Arbinet agreed to pay Nortel an undisclosed amount as part of the settlement, according to Nortel.Arbinet is a leader in the VoIP peering space and is going to be going public soon while Nortel has received much press lately over earnings that were not stated correctly. This settlement seems like good news for both companies as they are in high-growth markets and this should allow them to concentrate more on building their businesses.

Nortel to Launch Mainstream Ad Campaign

November 8, 2004

We received this release today. Here is my feeling on this type of campaign. I get concerned whenever telecom companies spend too much money on the general media like TV and mainstream magazines. The reason I am concerned is that these campaigns are usually at the expense of more focused technology publications and shows. I get lots of comments from attendees at our events telling me that companies that run VoIP ads during soccer and football games are wasting their money. What is your opinion?

VoIP Turns 2.0 - VoIP 2.0 is Here

November 7, 2004

Q) What do you call a political pollster after the 2004 presidential election?A) WaiterI watched the countdown to the election and listened to the pollsters who seemed to trip over each other to announce incorrect guesses as to who would win and by how much. Amazingly on election day itself I was convinced that Kerry would win. I was reminded of this issue when I took a look at TMCnets most popular news articles located in a box at the bottom of most pages on our site and found Upoc Poll of Mobile Phone Users Shows Kerry as Favorite for Tuesday's Presidential Election, a release from Upoc Networks, a mobile phone community.In the release they tout how they have a mobile community and represent the group of people that arent generally polled and subsequently their accuracy should be greater. They had Kerry up 30% and in the end and were probably a more accurate barometer for how young tech-savvy voters voted.

In the last few days TMC has made some amazing announcements regarding our publications. The first bit of news is that our print publications are going digital, meaning they will be available via PDF. Instead of having to wait 2 weeks for the printer to print the magazine and another 2+ weeks for delivery, you will receive your magazine via an e-mail link that will allow you to download a PDF that includes hyperlinks allowing you to get more out of the magazine than print could ever provide. There is nothing like the flexibility of reading a PDF publication with good hyperlinks in it allowing you to go to definitions, stock quotes and other related sites with the click of your mouse.

Speaking of Skype

October 29, 2004

Speaking of Skype, here is a pretty good article about them and an interview with Niklas Zennstrm in BusinessWeek Online.

Most top Companies Plan to Adopt VoIP

October 29, 2004

MSNBC had an article on its site recently showing that most top firms will be adopting VoIP in the next few years. Over 80% of the companies cited cost savings as the primary reason for the switch. The article stemmed from a survey of 131 multinational companies by Deloitte Touche. At our recent Internet Telephony show in LA someone came up to me after Niklas Zennstrom of Skype via videoconference told the audience that VoIP is not just about cost savings.
