VoIP Makes for a Good Cause
|
Stacey Higginbotham of GigaOm has a read worth piece up about a novel use of VoIP by a service called Cause Caller. What's interesting about the post is that it validates an idea I gave to the former investors in Pingtel and also the same idea I suggested to pal Alec Suanders some time back. That being making use of the Amazon Ec2 platform which is part of AWS (Amazon Web Services.) What I like about Cause Caller is that it's an inventive and useful deployment of Click to Call because it ties together the idea of a hyperlink, a...

iSkoot Takes Aim At Well, AIM and MIG33
|
A company I'm rather fond of is iSkoot. They make the client that works on the SkypePhone that I use when I'm in the UK. Well today VentureBeat is reporting how iSkoot is getting more social, and in my view moving away from simply being a Skype connectivity client making company and into a lot more. Their acquisition of Social.IM is a move that squarely aims at the crowd that Mig33 seemed to be chasing. The difference. iSkoot has the Voice app already working on devices. What about Skype? In my view iSkoot is moving away from simply being a...

Tesco Launches a Very Interesting Mobile VoIP Play
|
Earlier this week I alluded to the fact that Tesco would be coming out with a VoIP play that was based on their Freshtel acquisition as they've been selling FreshTel for sometime in the UK as a reader also commented. Now today, the other shoe dropped and is it an ever inviting whopper. I say that as their new Talk WiFi plan has all the making of a very successful commercial offering and shows that Tesco has taken their FreshTel core and migrated it over to the Nokia E and NSeries handsets, investing time in an easy to follow web...

Is Your Information At Risk Via Skype
|
This story in the Register is very, very disturbing. Not only does it replicate a few emails from both friends and readers about the dramatic drop off in customer service as Skype has grown to the size they have, but it also seems to underscores possible flaws in the eBay architecture overall since both Skype and PayPal are eBay companies. Skype has problems. And they start not with the leadership team in place, but go back to eBay and the (failed) attempt to integrate the two companies since the acquisition. But oh have they ever tried. First eBay installed a...

Tesco Launches Mobile VoIP In Australia As FreshTel
|
While not a surprise to many in the Mobile VoIP space, Tesco has launched their Freshtel Mobile VoIP service in Australia. Now here's my speculation. Australia is a wonderful market to trial things in. The country has very solid IP networks from Telstra. It is an English language country. Mobile is well thought of there and in many ways its a greenfield market. Tesco also has stores in the UK and is expanding into the USA with Freshies. I would expect that over the next few years if Freshtel is a success down under, that Tesco (a company that WalMart...

How To Get Better Service
|
Pat's post about his horror story with Vodafone reminded me about a post I wanted to write about AT&T. It's one that may spare many business people who are customers frustration and be a benefit to them. The same applies to Verizon here in the USA. Qualify to be a business customers as soon as you can. Why? For starters you get a dedicated and local account rep. Second, the reps know the ins and outs of the system. Third, you get earlier cracks at the better devices and most of all, you don't have to stand in line. But...

Boingo Mobile and Truphone = A Real Winner
|
Today I mashed up the recently updated Boingo Mobile client (which works on Nokia N and E series phones, the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet and Window Mobile devices) on my Nokia E71 Smartphone (North American Edition) from inside my hotel room. The hotel is powered by iBahn, one of the Boingo roaming partners. I grabbed the E71 and booted up the Truphone client, identified Boingo's hotspot SSID as the one I wanted to latch onto. That fired up the Boingo Mobile client which works automatically. No entering usernames, passwords or anything. Next I dialed a number, and voila, instant connectivity...

It's been a banner year for Skokie, IL based Comunicano client ifByPhone. For the second time in a few months the Chicago Sun Times has poked there head in the direction of Irv Shapiro and each time the story has been glowing. As the story says ifByPhone "software applications let small businesses set up virtual call centers and make "live" contact with potential customers without having to hire technicians and phone operators." Also included are real world examples of how companies are using the ifByPhone technology.

WiFI VoIP Standard Now Final
|
PC World reports that the long awaited 802.11r standard has been finalized and approved by the IEEE, the standards body that determines much of what goes into our personal electronics and communications equipment. This means that finally WiFi phones can really come into their own, and that roaming between hotspots and even networks becomes much more stable and reliable. While mostly beneficial to the Enterprise market, this is a solid step in the right direction and will benefit companies like Agito Networks, Cisco and a few others. For consumers it means that we'll start seeing more WiFi enabled cable, FIOS...
