VoIP Roundup - Tues Sep 26/06
Here's a quick roundup of what other VoIP/ IP media bloggers are talking about for IP communications ....
Om Malik at GigaOm says that VoIP loves small business but that maybe too many new VoIP startups are focusing on SMBs as their customers.
Cameron Sturdevant and the gang at eWeek Labs have been able to prove that VoIP can coexist with server security such as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). Which I think means that businesses (and universities) can implement soft VoIP without the same concern for security as they might have had. Andrew Garcia, also at eWeek, offers an option for IT managers at SMBs who want to use VoIP but don't want to replace hardware: virtual PBXes. When you finish that, look at Garcia's article about some new VoIP gear from D-Link, including routers aimed at the small business market.
I have no previous knowledge of QQ is, but Phil Wolff at Skype Journal is speculating on a merger between them and Skype (as well as something eBay China being purchased by Tom.com, a Skype partner). Wolff also wonders if Skype could be like Mercora's IMRadio service, allowing you to build and broadcast your own Internet radio station. The technology's in Skype already. Hey, I've already watched Japanese TV from Skype.
Speaking of Skype, The VoIP Girl gives the lowdown on the meaning of all those shiny little icons in the Skype interface. She also throws in a list of VoIP services for Canadians, to supplement the ones Canadian tech blogger Mark Evans listed.
