SIP pundit fires broadside at Skype
By Faultline

Last week we carried our thoughts and impressions from the VON (voice over networks) conference in London and focused on the difference between the instantaneous gratification of Skype for private individuals and the safe and efficient enterprise wide VoIP implementations, reliant mostly on the SIP protocol.
Rohan Mahy, co-chair IETF SIP and SIPPING Working Groups, took issue with some of the things that Niklas Zennstrom of Skype and Kazaa fame said at the conference, and although enterprise VoIP isn’t a central technology to Faultline, it is a valid and radical cost pressure on telcos and an opportunity for various vendors.

on a commercial airline flight using Xten software.
Xten® Networks, Inc. (OTCBB: XNWK) yesterday announced that VoIP history was made when Klaus Schulz, a former 3COM® Chief Technology Architect, boarded Flight 452 from Munich to Los Angeles on May 17th. Mr. Schulz did not know that he was going to make history on that day, however, he knew that he was going to be able to use the Internet on Lufthansa®s first commercial production flight with the very much touted new service from Connexion by Boeing®, this, because he helped with the overall implementation of the system.

Free 1 Minute Calls To:
United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore

I called my Dad in Cranbrook, BC from Santa Clara and wished him a Happy Birthday. I then called my brother in Australia and give him crap for not calling my Dad yet and then he called him using myPhoneBooth.com as well.
Pretty cool! Now that they have Wifi on comercial flights I can see that myPhoneBooth.com might get some real traction. Soon it will have Acoustic Echo Cancellation so you don’t even have to use a headset!

Vonage, the leading broadband telephony provider in the U.S., and Xten Networks (OTC Bulletin Board: XNWK – News), publisher of the award winning X-PRO SoftPhone, announced today that Vonage and Xten have completed interoperability testing of an OEM version of Xten’s X-PRO SIP SoftPhone for Mac-based Vonage subscribers.
Written by Erik Lagerway - Visit WebsiteI can safely say that Supercomm 04 was a great success for Xten. We made contact with some great potential customers and met with some existing customers we had not had the chance to yet.
SIPop! was a little poorly organized, namely the lack of signage caused problems but all in all it turned out well and Xten SIP Softphones received a clean bill of health and played well with all the other participants.
