TMC Announces VoIP Service Provider Award

September 28, 2004

First of all congratulations to all the award winners! Many service providers have been asking me how they were selected for the Internet Telephony VoIP Service Provider award. Apparently they want to put out press releases, etc. Here are the details on this honor:

Cisco VoIP Success - DoD and Bank of America

September 28, 2004

Cisco has been making serious headway in the VoIP space lately. Two recent stories show that they aren't slowing down one bit. In a CNET story titled Cisco inks another big VoIP deal, Bank of America is going to deploy 180,000 Cisco phones! This is on top of recent successes with Boeing and Ford. Meanwhile Washington Technoloy reports that Cisco VoIP products were approved by the DoD or Department of Defense to us laypeople. The specific equipment that received certification includes Cisco Catalyst 3550, 4500 and 6500 switches; Cisco 2600 and 3700 gateways; and CallManager 3.3 call processing software.

AT&T CallVantge and D-Link DVG-1120M Help

September 26, 2004

I received this rather detailed e-mail on configuring hardware for AT&T CallVantage. Havent tested this myself but it looks important enough to pass along. This is likely the AT&T Callvantage article being referred to. Hello,

I just spent the entire day trying to figure out how to get port forwarding working on the DVG-1120M or a way to get it to work behind a firewall/router, i came across an article you posted on it a few months ago. I have found out several distressing facts about the DVG-1120M and AT&T's service that you might find interesting.

* Bad networking logic, when the 1120 connects it sends some information about its connection to at&t using an http form post method, part of the connection data that is sent is the 1120's WAN IP, most routers support NAT but none support filtering IP's out of http data thats just not done..

Browsing the Google Way

September 23, 2004

Google may be launching a new browser according to a story by BBC. The Register also has a story that talks about this new browser and mentions that Google has recently hired a senior Java developer from Sun. Bloggers too are getting into the act, predicting that Google has the opportunity now while the industry is losing trust in the security offered by Internet Explorer.

If Google does launch such a browser, we can expect it to be successful. After all, they have invented the user interface for search. MSN and Yahoo! are basically copying the Google search page.

Asterisk Interest Soars

September 23, 2004

When I first wrote about Asterisk, the open, Linux based PBX it was for the January issue of Internet Telephony Magazine. I expected Asterisk to do well but I didnt expect the groundswell of activity that I have recently witnessed. For example, at our Internet Telephony show last February in Miami, their booth was mobbed. At our VoIP Developer show last August in San Jose, once again their booth was mobbed and their networking reception had steady traffic, including many people that drove down from Linux World which was taking place in San Francisco the same week.

I am sure they will once again be mobbed in LA, where Internet Telephony Conference & Expo will take place in less October 4-7.

AT&T's VoIP Teleworker Trials

September 22, 2004

AT&T has certainly been on an announcement frenzy. Here is their latest announcement on their VoIP teleworker trials for multinationals. AT&T and others realize how huge the VoIP opportunity is internationally and that is where most of the money will be made.

Mayor Daley is Watching

September 21, 2004

The New York Times had an interesting article titled Chicago Moving to 'Smart' Surveillance Cameras (registration required) in which Mayor Daley says the cameras will make the city a safer place. 250 cameras will be installed and using sophisticated technology, they will be able to spot a person acting suspiciously around a sensitive area. For example if they leave a package outside a building or walk in circles, authorities will be alerted and the police will be dispatched.There are obvious big brother implications here but in a world where terrorism is such a threat, many would err on the side of caution. Still, I believe it be to be in politicians to be as sensitive a possible to those who may take offense to the rapid rise of cameras in public places.

Service Providers Can Learn From SMS.ac

September 17, 2004

A few years back I attended the 3GSM show in the south of France and no, it wasn't sunny... Pretty cold and drizzly, thank you very much. Suffice it to say, I covered the whole show -- Every Exhibitor. Not much else to do there I am afraid.

Technology Headaches at Home

September 13, 2004

Sure, technology is great but the problem with it is if it breaks, and it always does, it takes time to fix. I am experiencing the fun of dealing with ever-braking technology. I have a Dell laptop at home and it has two problems,. The first is that it overheats and shuts off from time to time.
