Does The Telecom Industry Still Exist?

Does The Telecom Industry Still Exist?

By Guest Authors on January 17, 2013

Does the Telecom industry even exist anymore? I am in Vancouver Canada and am having a conversation with a branch office there.

By Zoli Erdos on April 19, 2011

Out of left field, T-Mobile and Facebook launched Bobsled, a VOIP service that allows voice calls to anyone on your Facebook list for free.  At this moment the entire blogging world is busy writing about it, so I skip the basics… and just run to some funny experience while testing it. First, here’s how you […]

Asterisk On The Clouds

By Krishnan Subramanian on February 17, 2009

The Skype Beta Downgrade – First Impressions

The Skype Beta Downgrade – First Impressions
