VoIP Roundup - Wed Oct 04/ 06
GoTalk: Free Happy Hour VoIP Calls
GoTalk is offering new
customers free calling to landlines and cell phones during the 6-7 pm
slot, provided you sign up for a year. A free plug'n'play adapter is
included in the package. [via The VoIP Weblog]
VoIPing For Profit: Skype Moodmessage
Skype has a plugin known as Mood-o-Matic, which displays clickable mood messages.
A guest blogger, Hans Blaauw, at Skype Journal is suggesting this as a
vehicle for unobtrusive advertising, as a way for Skypers to earn some VoIP calling credits. This might be more palatable to some people than Globe7's plan to have people watch video ads to gain VoIP credits.
IP Telephony Changes Canadian Telecom Market
The
Canadian telecom industry is undergoing changes due to new technologies
such as VoIP, which allows non-traditional providers into the market.
And that of course is a good thing, resulting not only in more choices
for consumers but lower prices. The Canadian telecommuncations market,
watched over by the CRTC
(Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission), also
underwent deregulation just like the American market did, and that's
what has paved the way for these changes. [via Teleclick]
