I mentioned recently that just about every company needs a VoIP strategy. You can embrace it, ignore it or just watch it. Regardless, you need a strategy. US Robotics now as a VoIP strategy.

The irony here is that the company built its business selling modems which off course transmitted data on telephone lines. Now a few decades later they are transmitting voice on data lines.

The company is way behind in the VoIP hardware business and besides a few “seasoned” tech-heads like me and Tom, how much mindshare does the US Robotics have these days?

They will have to do something very novel if they want to play in this space. I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with.
