Garrett Smith — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 22:07:27 +0000

One of the ancillary technology that continues to grab headlines and investment from major industry players is video conferencing. The technology that allows users to “see and interact” with one another has gained favor with small and large enterprises alike during the last few years as a: More impactful alternative to typical voice conferencing Way to conduct distance [...]

Garrett Smith — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 22:16:51 +0000

Aastra’s recent announcement of the 312W 802.11 b/g wireless VoIP phone last week is the latest in a growing number of mobility solutions for VoIP users. As Cory Andrews pointed out in his 2009 WiFi VoIP phone round-up, as soon as some manufacturers pulled out of the wireless VoIP game, new ones have entered. And the [...]

Google voice doesn’t get my number

Garrett Smith — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 02:40:31 +0000

For a virtual number service, Google Voice seems to be an enormous amount of press these days. Maybe because its Google. Or even because the VoIP industry has been rather light on news of further innovation. Perhaps it’s just because people love free stuff. Regardless, Google Voice continues to gain favor with more than just daring daters [...]

Consumers cutting VoIP?

Garrett Smith — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:20:24 +0000

There’s an interesting new survey out by Alcatel-Lucent that’s raising some eyebrows within the VoIP industry. The reason? The report noted that a portion of the respondents deemed paid VoIP services to be expendable, whilst a land line connection (and a cellular phone) was an essential. This is in stark contrast with a series of surveys and [...]

Getting your numbers ported faster

Garrett Smith — Thu, 21 May 2009 22:27:06 +0000

Hidden in last week’s news that the FCC would soon be imposing new regulations requiring VoIP providers to provide “reasonable notice” to customers and regulatory officials before they shut down, was a new rule requiring land line, cellular and VoIP providers to port numbers to another provider within one business day. It’s funny (to me at [...]

POTS lines are an endangered species

Garrett Smith — Mon, 11 May 2009 23:53:00 +0000

I know the title of this post is telling you something that you probably already know. Unfortunately, not everyone is as informed as you are. Case in point, Larry Midge at Cnet. Larry is worried about land lines. His kid’s prefer their cellphones. He even bought one of them Vonage – which they never even used. And apparently [...]

SIP Trunking Redux

Cory Andrews — Mon, 04 May 2009 17:50:28 +0000

Back in October 2008 we featured a piece on SIP Trunking, which explained the basics of the technology and the potential benefits for business users. SIP Trunking continues to proliferate, and I recently came across some excellent stories related to SIP Trunking that I thought I would share. Over at NoJitter.com, Alan Percy from Audiocodes [...]

Will high definition or standards revive voice communications?

Garrett Smith — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:44:25 +0000

Daniel Berninger penned a guest piece on Jeff Pulver’s blog this morning entitled, “The HD Connect Manifesto” which anoints high definition voice as the savior of the voice communications industry. In reality the manifesto has little to do with “HD” and more with two enablers driven by standards: Convenience Interconnection Make voice communications more convenient Today communications is increasingly fragmented.

Google voice and voice based search

Garrett Smith — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:51:25 +0000

Ever since Google relaunched GrandCentral as Google voice a few weeks ago I’ve been thinking about what Google voice’s true purpose and future might entail. Many have over-hyped the launch as the death of hardware based phone systems, while others have ho-hummed Google’s efforts as half-baked. Personally I think that Google voice is merely a feature [...]

Do you want Google near your voice mail?

Garrett Smith — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:50:23 +0000

I know I don’t. Over the past few days the relaunch of GrandCentral as Google Voice has generated a robust discussion about what Google is planning to do with voice. Thoughts range from Google building a standalone SOHO voice offering to Google using Google voice to bolster other offerings. But there’s one thought that keeps popping-up. It’s [...]
