The Future of VoIP Podcast - Episode 7 - Michelle Swittenberg - Verizon

Michelle and I talked about Verizon's broadband telephony VoIP offering VoiceWing and what the future holds for the service. It was interesting to hear her response on the possibility of VoIP on wireless handsets by leveraging the Verizon Wireless division. We also touched on competition ie, Vonage and walked through the MCI merger and the impact it is having on the VoIP department over at Verizon. http://sipthat.com/mp3 /Future-of-VoIP/Michelle-Swittenburg-VoIP-Director-Verizon-Voicewing.mp3 Subscribe to the Podcast
