Great news for VoIP companies! Internet Week is reporting that VoIP providers will be able to remain free from state regulation. The final decision was rendered in thanks by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis. It seems that their ability to escape the potential regulation comes from the simple fact that VoIP is not considered to be a true telephone service….

Mobile Phone Bridge To VoIP System?

Mobile Phone Bridge To VoIP System? 05/11/2004 04:32 PM
i2 Telecom is making some news today for releasing what appears to be some sort of bridge device to tie mobile phones to a VoIP network. The articles and the press release about this offering are a bit confusing. i2's website doesn't offer any more help. Looking over their site (which doesn't seem to have this product listed yet), it appears that i2 Telecom is really yet-another-Vonage-wannabe - though with fairly inexpensive prices. What's interesting is that they pitch it in a different manner, focusing much more on the box they give you - as if it's this magical box that lets you make VoIP calls - rather than the service, like most players in this market. This new offering is basically an update on that box with one additional feature: if you call into your home line with your mobile phone, the box will recognize your caller ID and let you then bounce another call out, using the VoIP network. Basically, it lets you use your mobile phone on your VoIP system. It's a neat idea, but it does involve a few extra steps (calling your home line first). I can see this being useful mainly for those who make a lot of international phone calls, since the rates are cheaper. However, with the amount of included minutes that most mobile phone plans offer, it seems like it would have limited use for most domestic calls. Also, it probably only makes sense for those who also need a mobile phone plans and a home VoIP plan. If the person doesn't already plan to use either separately, than the added cost of this probably doesn't make much sense.

Vonage UTStarcom F1000 VoIP Phone

Vonage UTStarcom F1000 VoIP Phone 01/04/2005 01:43 PM

Vonage is dropping some killer gear on us today, with product announcements that include this new Wi-Fi Voice-Over-IP handset from UTStarcom that will let Vonage subscribers make calls anywhere they can log onto a Wi-Fi connection. With an 80-hour standby time and three to four hour talk time, the F1000 looks practical enough to use as your primary phone, not to mention extremely handy to have around as a secondary communications sidearm. Plus, you're sort of getting a Wi-Fi location device for free.

The UTStarcom F1000 is a standard SIP phone, as well, meaning it can be used with other Voice-Over-IP platforms besides Vonage.

ZyXEL Prestige 2000W VoIP Phone Reviewed

ZyXEL Prestige 2000W VoIP Phone Reviewed 07/06/2004 01:37 PM

While we're all waiting anxiously for VoIP phones to merge with our cellphones (like the Motorola CN620 we were just talking about), there's nothing stopping you from getting a VoIP Wi-Fi phone today, like say the ZyXEL Prestige 2000W, which conveniently has just been reviewed by our pal Om Malik. Because of the potential setup hassles some less-than-geeky users might run in to he can't recommend to everyone, but for anyone who doesn't mind scrounging up a few IP addresses, the ZyXEL looks like a fine handset for turning your Vonage (or other softphone service) into something less like another land line and more like a cellphone.

Digital home not ready, Wi-Fi phone and

Digital home not ready, Wi-Fi phone and
VoIP premature 09/06/2004 12:50 PM
CyberTAN is one of the largest SOHO networking manufacturers in Taiwan. Chih-Kan Wang, vice president of the company’s Digital Home and Advanced Technology Center, shared his thoughts on the company’s status and future business prospects with DigiTimes. The company currently has four business units, including two older units that made up the company’s original core. These comprise the router business unit, which produces broadband routers, access points and other CPE (customer premise equipment) items, and the wireless client unit, producing PCMCIA cards, mini-PCI cards and USB dongles.

CyberTAN has since created two new units: the Digital Home unit, which so far has been producing wireless modules for digital television and wireless DVD players but will soon add several more products to the line-up, and the Telecom unit, which produces ADSL routers, IADs (integrated access devices) and VoIP devices. CyberTAN’s primary focus is on the SOHO market, said Wang.

Wang also explained that CyberTAN is having difficulty filling positions in its research and development departments since the company is continuously expanding its requirements for all these four areas.

Morpheus Launching Phone Service -
Simple To Create VoIP VNOs?

Morpheus Launching Phone Service -
Simple To Create VoIP VNOs? 02/17/2004 10:21 PM
Streamcast, the company behind the Morpheus file sharing system, is making news today by announcing that they're going to offer Morpheus users their own telephone service. The obvious connection most people make will be with Skype, the software-based voice-over-the-internet play, because it was written by the folks who created Kazaa - a competing file sharing system to Morpheus. However, the Morpheus offer is quite different, and opens up a much more interesting line of discussion. In this case, Morpheus is just becoming a virtual network operator (VNO). More commonly, people have talked about mobile VNOs (MVNOs) such as Virgin Mobile, where some other network operator handles all the dirty technical details, and a company like Virgin simply slaps their brand and marketing efforts on top. In this case, Morpheus is basically offering a Vonage-like service (powered by i2 Telecom), but with their own brand. It will be interesting to see if other brand companies start jumping into the VoIP VNO business as well. It's even easier to do than jumping into the MVNO business, and I could see a lot of companies deciding that there's a fit - though, it may be a tough sell to a lot of customers. Are people really going to gravitate to a Morpheus service over a Vonage offering at the same or similar price? Still, one of the nice things about such a VoIP system is just how easy it must be to create your very own VNO. How long until companies are offering the ability to automatically set up your own VoIP telephone company the same way you become an Amazon affiliate or put a Google search on your page? Anyone interested in signing up for a Techdirt phone service?

Vonage Offers Wi-Fi Phone 01/04/2005 12:45 AM
Engadget slips the news that Vonage ships its F-1000 Wi-Fi handset: The handset will work over hotspot networks allowing Vonage customers to use their service while roaming. Boingo and Vonage had a deal in place to test out VoIP over Wi-Fi hotspots, but it's unclear here in the late evening how that ties together. Also, Vonage's site doesn't yet list the announcement, so we don't know if they've partnered with various networks to ease authentication. Authentication, or providing credentials that let you use a given hotspot network--whether a paid login or a WPA encryption key or handling 802.1X, even--is the biggest stopping block in allowing VoIP over hotspot to work. A technology like EAP-SIM, which would use a GSM SIM module to authenticate, might be one method of logging in. But it requires every hotspot or hotspot network that wants to allow this sort of connection to build the back-end to handle it....
