Voip And Local Telephone Companies
By Michael Weaver
With technology entering the mainstream, it brings the possibilities or huge profits for the companies that provide the service. The current promise of cost savings is driving more and more residential and business users to investigate this technology. But the local telephone companies are not going to give up customers without a fight.
There is a current mandate by the US federal government that all providers offer E911 service. The initial blocking of this information was with the public switched telephone network maintained by the major telephone companies
The next stumbling block is 'naked DSL' or DSL access without local phone service. This service is rare, but without it a residence would not be able to use as their primary phone service mechanism. You see, DSL is running over your existing phone line provided by your local telephone company. Drop your local phone service and you'll probably drop your broadband DSL access as well. (Cable broadband access is a viable solution here and the increased cost in cable access should be offset by the reduction on your monthly phone bill)
These are just two fronts in the battle over VoIP. Should companies be compensated for the infrastructures they build? Should E911 service be 'free' and offered as a public service? What about the existing phone service run into our homes? Who pays for those lines to be laid and hooked into the public switched telephone network?
There really are no easy answers to the questions above. The phone companies are not about to give up customers without a fight. They have years and billions of dollars spent in building one of the most reliable communications networks 'currently' known to us.
Is
the next step in the evolving communications industry? How will this play out with phone companies offering internet and TV services and cable providers offering phone and internet service? The line is being blurred and yet the technology pushes forward.
I don't have the answers, only questions. I know how I'd like to see it all play out, but alas, there is no Nirvana and no, it would seem we all cannot get along. Not when there's literally billions of dollars at stake. There will be winners and losers as this war rages on, but it is my hope that we, the end users, will, in the end, be better for it. After all, we've been down this path many times before and it's turned

SwitchVox AA60 VoIP Appliance, Part One
I?m just getting started with the new Digium SwitchVox AA60 unit. This VoIP telephone system was introduced this past spring.

NASA Sails NanoSail-D into History
I love it when I get to see science fiction become reality. At this point in history, we are so passe' about amazing things like wireless communication, computers, cooking with microwaves, and the internet. In fact, my children don't blink at the notion of how fantastic our world has become. Next week, NASA is set to turn the fantasy of solar sail technology into reality. Solar sails are the type of craft we have seen in movies such as Star Wars. You know, Count Dooku's ship as he sneaks aw

Desktop VoIP Conference Speaker - hands free talking and driving at your desktop posted by Nigel in gadgets...! Desktop VoIP Conference Speaker. Microphone and speakers in a small desktop form factor that looks slightly alien. Yeah it does, if you look out of the corner of your eye with a squint. See? Anyhoo, it?s USB powered, aren?t they all sweetie?, and comes with echo cancellation and noise suppression. The output?s a pitiful 1.5W per channel, but what do you expect for $29.99?

Creative intends their HS-1200 2.4Ghz wireless boom-mic-equipped cans to appeal to the hardcore gamer who's tied up in knots by irritating wires. However, while it's true that the full duplex operation and USB connection are both pluses that mean that you can use the HS-1200 without worrying about a soundcard, its profile does not mention one crucial feature that any set of gaming headphones should have: surround sound. This is where X-Fi comes in. Creative's proprietary CMSS-3D can upmix ste

Speakeasy can Kiss Off
As of a couple hours ago, for the first time since I moved down here and got myself online, I?m no longer a Speakeasy customer. At this point, I can strongly recommend against using Speakeasy for personal broadband service. Perhaps they?re still doing well at the business level, but from a customer point of view, they?re really not worth it.

IPTV or Internet television?
?While services such as iPlayer, 4OD and Youtube might provide ?television? you can watch over the internet, they?re not IPTV services in the strictest sense.
