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.

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..

Intel & AT&T in WiMAX and VoIP

December 26, 2004

Many people have predicted AT&Ts demise. Industry insiders told me that the stock is a definite short since VoIP became popular in 1999. You figure with all this new IP telephony competition around, how could they survive? Well the truth is that now in 2005, AT&T is doing an amazing job fighting off VoIP competition with their CallVantage service. They are very late to the game and Vonage has amazing mindshare for a start-up but AT&T is a strong number 2 player. The company has so much more potential however and that is why they are partnering with Intel in a technology alliance that taps into a virtually unlimited number of products and services.

VoIP, Vonage, The FCC and Regulation

December 30, 2004

Vonage Holdings is really paving the way for a slew of VoIP service providers as they fight regulatory battle after battle. In a lost appeal to a recent Vonage win, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission argues that VoIP phone service should be regulated as phone companies are. There is still the chance that states will be allowed to tax VoIP. We will have to wait and see how this plays out but in the mean time there can be no more damaging problem for a new industry than having court cases and FCC commissioners making new rules as we go along.

Can Net2Phone VoIP Service Compete With Vonage and AT&T CallVantage?

December 30, 2004

In 1999, years before Vonage was a company, Net2phone had an agreement with Komodo Technology to use their Komodo Fone as a broadband telephony/VoIP access device. You could make outbound calls but not receive inbound calls with this combination of hardware and service.

Agreement may be a strong word as TMC Labs had one of these Net2phone enabled Komodophones and I am not aware of anyone else having access to it. Here is the TMC Labs review of the Komodo Fone 300.

DSP Group's WiFi Telephony Chip: Wireless Voice Over IP

January 3, 2005

It is no secret that WiFi telephony is the future of VoIP. Just as consumer adoption launched VoIP into the mainstream, it is possible that these same consumers will do the same for WiFi telephony. Frankly it should be business users that accelerate the adoption but consumers have done an amazing job of harnessing leading edge technologies. Businesses are a bit gun-shy after the dotcom era it seems.So we will likely see the consumer and business space work together on building this new category of product.

California PUC and VoIP Regulation

January 3, 2005

In my mind we need a great deal less government intervention in our daily lives and this is especially true when the government serves as a direct road block to progress in an industry that has so much potential like VoIP. A recent article on TMCnet, California to Appeal FCCs Decision on VoIP Regulation shows how some states are not happy with the FCC eliminating their ability to regulate VoIP. Minnesota and California are just two of the states that are using our tax dollars to make it more difficult for VoIP to proliferate. VoIP serves the public good and we are in a very sensitive time in the industry.

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.
