From the Department of Stupid Is as Stupid Does-Aircell
|
I have to thank one of my readers who pointed out to me the fact that Aircell is already in the business of making VoIP work in the skies. It seems they are already marketing SIP based phones for the business aviation market selling against others with similar products. They're also selling a voice ready in flight communications system and a Broadband DSL in the sky product, both of which offer voice options, the former being Satellite based Iridium and the latter being IP, meaning anything can likely work over it. Candidly, its easy to see why the folks at...

When Is Using Adobe Flash and Apple's Safari Hacking?
|
It's hilarious that the mainstream media is saying that using Adobe's Flash and Apple's Safari is "hacking" in the recent matter of my calling Laptop's News Editor Joanna Stern via Phweet and TringMe "hacking." If that's hacking, I guess Apple and Adobe make hacker tools? Somehow I don't think so. For the record, I offered to Aircell via their PR firm, to tell them all the steps that were taken that made the call possible since 730 AM last Friday, the morning after I made the call at 8 PM the night before from my hotel room to Joanna. I...

Business Week on Mobile VoIP
|
Business Week's Olga Kharif writes a very good summary article about Mobile VoIP, which includes client Truphone. Olga's points about Mobile VoIP and who the players are makes a nice compendium. What this means is that Mobile VoIP has gone well beyond the blogosphere and is now going to become more mainstream. Sadly, the carries chose not to comment. That could mean one of two things. 1) They are concerned, or starting to become concerned. or 2) They have their own Mobile VoIP plans.

Why Aircell's Attempts To Block VoIP Are Futile
|
Dan York has a very lengthy post about the VoIP packet traffic that Phweet and Tringme uses. In his very knowledgeable way describes why long term the attempts to block VoIP are futile. I agree, especially since it took me, a non-hacker, using a regular application called Flash from Adobe. Instead of all this we need to focus on the potential ways the airlines can create talking zones, ala the smoking sections of the past, while at the same time think hard about what calls are essential and need to be made, and how to behave when on a packed...

More Free Calls With Asterisk via Gizmo Project
|
I've been a fan of GizmoProject for a very long time, and while I'm using it less and less, and other apps more, I still never forget how much innovation resides inside their team. Many people forget that Gizmo was birthed out of SipPhone, and SipPhone has a ton of standards based capabilities and relationships, one of which their approach to peering with eNum, and their concept of an open federation. As a result of their approach, Gizmo Project is a neat way to connect quickly and easily, over IP, to many carriers directly. If you're an Asterisk user or...

CallVantage Watch
|
I'd hate for AT&T to simply cut off CallVantage for those of us who have it. Today Network World recaps something I wrote earlier in the month, and which has been on DSLReports/BroadbandReports as well. Simply put, AT&T is not putting any new customers on the CallVantage platform. This comes at a time when the cable operators like giant Comcast are beginning to innovate with new features as well as seeing daily growth every day from customers wanting to go triple=play, while, as Network World reports, Vonage and Packet8 are seeing slow downs. Why is this happening? For starter, AT&T...

Is AT&T Having Network Issues, Did Apple Make More Changes or is It Google?
|
All of a sudden, over the last 24 hours, once again, GMAIL is not working on the iPhone via the native Mail app. The problem is IMAP authentication and its not fun. The last time this happened, it was a Google change to the authentication process, and it impacted the PAID Google APPS mail accounts with a hosted domain. But I've also been unable to access Twitter via any of the iPhone apps like Twinkle or Twitterific. On the other hand, GMAIL is working perfectly on the Nokia E71-2 (North America Edition) using the new Nokia MAIL service that is...

Who Says You Can't VoIP on Aircell, I just Did It
|
This post is dedicated to my father, the late Master Sergeant Bernard Abramson, who in the USMC fashion taught me that "the impossible we do right away, but miracles take a little longer." He would be proud. Tonight I got an email from Laptop Magazine's new News Editor (recently promoted) Joanna Stern, asking me to get on SightSpeed while she was flying on an Aircell equipped American Airlines flight to New York. We actually saw each other for about ten seconds on SightSpeed, before the voice and real time video sensing technology cut the connection off. Bummer as that was...

Voxeo Shows Growth, Another Sign that VoIP Is On the Way Up
|
A few weeks after BT grabbed Silicon Valley startup, Ribbit, Voxeo, located out of the usual tech belt in Florida, has shown us once again that the business of VoIP is on the way up, not down. In his post, Voxeo resident social media maven, Dan York, highlights details of the way things are going there. So, beyond the obvious, what does this mean: 1) There is a great deal of interest in Voice XML and voice driven technology. 2) That people in the space like Thomas Howe who have been evangelizing the arrival of voice mashups are seeing their...

Wall Street Journal Catches on To Alternative Long Distance Mobile Calling
|
Today's Wall Street Journal has a story highlighting client Truphone and a few others in the alternative mobile Long Distance biz. Jajah, Mobivox, Gizmo project and a few others are mentioned in the well researched and thorough must read on the subject of Mobile VoIP. From my position Truphone is really much akin to being an alternative long distance provider, but unlike MCI and Sprint of days gone by they have figured out how they can be both carrier cooperative in that they do drive minutes to the mobile operator, as well as user friendly in how they approach long...
