BenQ Mobile Says Goodbye
It might be hard to believe that a mobile tech make would go bankrupt with the current economy, especially one that was a former Siemens division, but that's what happened to BenQ Mobile. The Taiwanese BenQ bought BenQ Mobile in 2005.
Since no buyers were found since the bankruptcy declaration, BenQ Mobile is being completely shut down. I don't know the full details about the company, but I'm surprised that some larger phone maker didn't snap them up.
A question poses itself about VoIP providers: what do you do if your provider goes bankrupt? Given that there are a multitude of VoIP providers offering free calling plans, it's likely some of them just might go down if they can't find a way to monetize their services.
