So what's IMS all about?

[Realtime-VoIP: The VoIP Community Weblog] I can't begin to articulate all the depth and breadth of IP Multimedia Subsytems (IMS). It's another complexx technology area that means different things to different people.

Residential VoIP - Facts and Figures

[Jon Arnold's Blog] One type is the network operators - telcos, cablecos and ISPs, and the other is the pureplays, including VoIP operators (Vonage, 8x8, etc.) and Skype. Including Skype can be misleading, but remember, the metric here is minutes, not dollars or subscribers.

Then you can type another number or pick one out of your contacts (our app is reading pocket outlook contacts) and with one click your phone is connecting to the internet and "telling" our server to call the cell phone number first and then ater you are picking up (yes, it is a regular incoming call) our server will call the other number and connect the two.

Service providers spending nearly 40% of capex on triple play

[thevoipdigest.com] Service providers around the globe see triple play services not merely as a means of increasing top-line revenue, but as a means of self-preservation, says a new study by Infonetics Research. Network operators are redefining and realigning themselves to be the one-stop shop for all things digital for residential and enterprise subscribers, and they believe triple play services will give them the competitive edge they need to succeed.

A partial QoS approach for SMBs

[Realtime-VoIP: The VoIP Community Weblog] Kerio WinRoute Firewall's new Bandwidth Limiter acts as a simple Quality of Service (QoS) device that slows down Internet connection for heavy traffic users to make space for bandwidth-sensitive applications such as VoIP.

Weekend Mood

[MacLife: The best apple mac computer hardware and software posts from around the web] Given that I, too, have moved away from the broad issues in the mobile industry (as much due to my Disclaimer as to my being rather too immersed in them to be completely impartial) and that there has been very little incentive in dissecting every little nuance of a rapidly changing market when every factoid is re-posted, re-linked and quoted to death, I'm not really surprised.

Voice 2.0: How far does it go?

[Technological Musings] I see two camps of people these days: On one hand there are operators, especially Mobile operators who want to eventually switch to IMS, and are quite certain that the move is going to be mandatory to survive, and then there are the campers who got their freedom recently from operators, run services over the internet and want to stay that way - offering even telecom services. They are the voice 2.0 camp.
