Full Story »Online Advertising of SIP
March 18, 2009While most of my blogs have been on IP communications (VoIP/SIP), I have been working on determining the best ways to spend our precious marketing dollars for this year. The challenge given to me has been to spend the bulk of those dollars on web advertising campaigns. At first it seemed simple, a banner ad here and there, a few tiles and perhaps even one of those dreaded interrupting splash pages. However, as I have studied the statistics, it is clear none of these activities may result in the behavior I want...
Cook, Plumb, Prepare Veal Marsala and Tax Advice
March 16, 2009It is hard to describe the life of a true foodie. Food consumes us.
Hummmm...okay we consume it. But, we continually pursue a new experience with it.
The Future is When?
March 13, 2009I was traveling overseas about two years ago and took a picture of a number of payphones that sat unused. At the time, I wondered how much longer they would exist given the growing penetration of cell phones. This photo is of a bank of 14 phones all sitting unused. So, the question is, "Are we in the future now based upon the photo?"
VoIP and FoIP
March 11, 2009Without fail every time I present to an audience I am confronted with the question, "How do you handle Faxing?" Faxing is the bane of IP Communications. Industry numbers indicate a one-page fax failure rate of around 80% with multiple page faxes failing more often. At Broadvox, we have worked hard to improve upon the numbers. We are better than 80% successful delivery of multiple page faxes.
Roasted Beets and Net Neutrality are on the Menu
March 9, 2009Interesting weekend for food. I went into Saturday with no ideas on what to eat. However, my wife had this roasted beet salad she wanted me to make and after a bit of grumbling I agreed to do so. Why the grumbling?
Conundrum or Kundra
March 6, 2009Vivek Kundra has been named as President Obama's CIO. He is the former CTO of the District of Columbia and Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Technology for Virginia. He looks like someone who has interacted with Washington a fair bit. I don't know if that is good or bad and I'm from Virginia.
Genachowski and COMPTEL
March 4, 2009
Well what has been speculated for weeks has finally become official, long time Obama friend and advisor, Julius Genachowski, has been nominated to head the FCC.
"He will bring to the job diverse and unparalleled experience in communications and technology, "said President Obama.
Perhaps on Friday, we can review some of the pressing issues facing the FCC and those that are important to the IP Community, Broadvox and other ITSPs.
COMPTEL
The Irish lose but Vegas Wins!
March 2, 2009What a weekend for food. Now I promised the Salmon with Vodka Cream Sauce and Fettuccine recipe. So, that is the recipe for the day. However, my wife, Gay, and I had another great meal that I developed as the day progressed.
VoIP/SIP Trunking Assessment Criteria...
February 27, 2009I prepared this last year and discussed it with many VARs. Recently I was asked about it again. So today, I am reissuing the five VoIP/SIP Trunking Assessment Criteria.
Cost: The current economic environment creates an opportunity for SMBs to address cash flow and profit margins. SIP Trunking allows an SMB to implement converged services (voice, data, video), immediately eliminating the need for separate dedicated lines.
State of the Broadband...1/6242
February 25, 2009As with many, I watched the State of the Nation speech given by President Obama last night. I was interested in the overall speech and like many of you; I have an opinion regarding its effectiveness in dealing with our current economic environment and confidence levels. However, this blog is about IP Communications and any and all activities that affect it. To that end, I caught only one word, "broadband". It was use in a fashion that assumed Americans understand the issues with "laying broadband". I am certain they do not.
Years ago, we coined a phrase "Information Super Highway". It was during a time that access to the Internet was primarily through dial up access at rate hovering around 24kbs.
