Cisco does a thorough job of predicting traffic trends on the Internet. Of course, as long as those numbers go up – and they certainly do go up – it essentially is Cisco’s way of telling the world how much its equipment will be needed. The latest

January 15th, 2009 Most telephony new products are about mobile, but I pay almost no attention to every kind of accessory or feature for your mobile phone. No need to hear from me since the mobile mainstream is covered in many places—see Palm in the news. I still use a Palm IIIc (occasionally) and liked the work they did on the human interface, so I hope the new phone is as good as claimed

Tripping on Telephony at CES
September 17th, 2008 Depending on how you read many of my posts I may seem to be trolling for Skype weaknesses to highlight. Today let me at least praise the keynote presented by Skype’s Jonathon Christensen at the Internet Telephony Conference this week. These industry conferences are not known for too many real edgy positions and controversy, but the title of “VoIP is Dead” for his talk certainly was a wake-up

With the fixed amount of available 800 numbers shrinking fast, subscribers who waited to secure toll free service are now learning why it is so difficult to obtain a number. Industry insiders say the soaring popularity of toll free service combined with the failure of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to release additional numbers have created a tight supply of 800 numbers in heavy demand.

I’m often asked to help new businesses get set up with the software tools they’ll need to be successful — from financial programs, to CRM systems, to project management, and so on. With a little research, it’s easy to choose tools that suit one’s specific needs. But some business people might want an integrated solution; Soho OS aims to provide all of these services, and more, in one place.

Govt announces new ILDTS policy, cuts BTRC powers
The government is pounding upon the telecom operators who purportedly are using their internet facilities for international telephone call terminations. The operators are being heavily fined, their equipments worth crore of takas are being confiscated and some of them are banned for life to continue such operations. As a former BT & T person, I still do not understand why Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) should be illegal in the first place

Why VOIP is illegal?
Mobile phone operator Robi organised a ceremony to mark the installation of SIMBOX detection system to help track illegal VoIP connections at its head office on Thursday. BTRC spectrum division director general Md Ahsan Habib Khan, commission secretary Mahboob Ahmed and Robi managing director and chief executive officer Michael Kuehner were present at the ceremony, said a news release. The tool, replacing an old one, will be able to identify use of illegal VOIP connections more precisely and take measures to deactivate those

The government is set to issue 3000 licences for handling international calls through VoIP. The post and telecommunications secretary made the announcement at a briefing with the press on Thursday. Secretary Sunil Kanti Bose said the government would allow 3000 operators to run international telephone call termination operations through the internet—a technology popularly called VoIP (voice over internet protocol).

There are times I love the Nerd Vittles site – they come up with some interesting and clever ways to use the Asterisk PBX. And then again, every so often, there are times when I actually read their instructions and wonder, “Why are they doing it that way?” It just seems like they are either making things a bit more difficult than they need to be, and/or doing things in a non-standard way that could cause problems down the road when the underlying software is updated. As an example, many Asterisk “all in one” distributions (including PBX in a Flash, the package promoted on the Nerd Vittles site) use both Asterisk and FreePBX as their underlying software. FreePBX in particular has a nasty habit of “breaking” existing installations if you upgrade the FreePBX software and are running anything outside their GUI — even third-party FreePBX modules aren’t safe (if you’re into this stuff, you might have read about the recent brouhaha with the Custom Contexts module — I don’t want to get into that issue in this article, but suffice it to say that if I spoke my mind on the subject, the FreePBX developers probably wouldn’t like me very much). So, when I read the article Tweaking Asterisk for Free Google Voice Calling on the Nerd Vittles site, I thought it was a great idea, but just didn’t care for the way they implemented it.
