During coffee last week, Om Malik said to me “You haven’t blog about VoIP for a while…” We know each another when we were invited to be on the blogger panel at VON several years ago. Om, now has a blogging empire, in all business and tech (not just VoIP). I replied him “There isn’t […]

My VoIP Phone number via Pfingo
After working for almost 2 years on IP Telephony Framework for Singapore, and another year waiting for companies to put the new 3 series numbers into operation (you can imaging how tough to get interconnection done :-), I finally got my own 3 series VoIP phone number :-) +65-31050266 is the working VoIP number that […]
Skype asks FCC to open up cellular networks
This petition by Skype is one of the most significant milestone for the VoIP, or mobile application, industry. It will decide if the wall-garden cellular network will stay or go. Skype yesterday petitioned the FCC to lay the smack down on wireless phone carriers who “limit subscribers’ right to run software communications applications of their […]
Wifi Skype Phones
Just bought these babies…couldnt wait to blog about them. They are the standalone wifi skype phones from SMC and Netgear. Yep, standalone, ie no need for PC to work. In other words, I can use them in any hotspot. Yeah!! Original I thought Netgear and SMC are from the same manufacturer as reported in Gimozo […]
VoIP in Namibia
Was listening to Ferdinand Tjombe talking about VoIP in Namibia. Recently (12th May), five Chinese nationals was arrested in Namibia for using “VoIP technology”. The process was driven by incumbent operator. The interesting part is that the Chinese nationals was not given bail (when murderers and rapists does!). The telecommunication legislation in Nambia was […]
VoIP in Malaysia
I havent wrote about VoIP for a while so let me try here. I suppose I could write about the Vonage, about them being sued over E911, sued for patents infrigement, sued by shareholders and the fact their share price dropped by half since IPO. The latter was kind of embarrassing for me as I […]

Do not what you not wish on yourself
Many people have complaint about the FCC lately. Jeff Pulver during the blogger panel said he rather see FTC incharge instead. This is a big contrast compared to just barely a year ago where Michael Powell was a keynote speaker. In fact, there wasn’t even a town hall session this VON. Where is the love […]
VON Day 2
The Blogger Panel was a smash – they schedule it as a main session rather than a breakout session which means we have much more audience than last year. Andy was a great moderator and my fellow panelists didn’t hesitate the take any questions, even the tough ones like why are we qualified to be […]
VON Day 1
I spent most of my time at the Communication Policy Summit. The most exciting session got to be Lawful Intercept session, with speakers from Drug Enforcement Administration and Federal Bureau of Investigation explaining why they need CALEA and they did a great job. Unfortunately for them, their opponents John Morris and Brad Templeton did an […]
