Be afraid said Businessweek (via VoIP Watch) The big mistake many people make with new technologies, from personal computers to the World Wide Web and, most likely, VOIP, is to compare them with existing ways of doing things, and then–big surprise!–they don’t measure up. Yet already, more than 22 million people, plus 70,000 more every […]

Thoughts on Bellster
The latest hot news on VoIP is Bellster, a P2P phone service by Jeff Pulver and friends. And it is really hot – just barely a week into the launch, the market is buzzing about it, from Wall Street Journal to CNet and of course, in the blogging world. Now, I won’t tell you what […]
IP Telephony in Asia
Once in a while, I would get call or email from friends who wanted to do a ‘Vonage for Asia’ and ask me what I think. By “Vonage of Asia”, the general idea revolves around an ITSP (IP Telephony Service Provider) providing flat-rate unlimited calls across Asia (or a variant of that). Well, the first […]
Phone of the Future – Newsweek
Saw this on the newsstand yesterday. Great article about VoIP industry with an excellent review of Jeff Pulver, Vonage and many others! Phone of the Future indeed. I look forward more frontpage news for VoIP this year! Speaking of VoIP, sometimes I wish we would use IP Telephony for what’s happening today. There were many […]

Peer-to-peer IP Telephony using SIP

VoIP on Today
Today is a local Singapore newspaper. Several VoIP articles published today on Today created quite abit of storm so much so that i can hear it from the far-away land in Amsterdam. Check it out :-) Is that my PC that’s ringing? by Yew Hock Meng (old friend of mine from LGA). Taking the shackles […]
VoIP blog
I have the honour to be mentioned by Jeff Pulver as one of the VoIP bloggers. Thanks Jeff. I have great admiration for Jeff: continue to evangelise VoIP after so many years and willingness to put a greater cause (VoIP) before his self-interest. His perseveration afterall these years finally paid off and he is definately […]
Some news on VoIP
I know I am late…I saw it a couple of days ago but I was too busy to blog it then. Last week, I was thinking how nice would it be to have some sort of interface to Skype so new applications can be developed on a platform with 12M users (I said something similar […]
