The biggest barrier today is the access layer. There's still a long road to ubiquitous wifi, and broad device support. At EQO we've been working to extend the capabilities of the mobile address book in a way that provides the same advantages of wifi calling on non-wifi devices, making use of the existing circuit switched network to deliver calls at the local rate. Wifi will be a reality at some point but it is my belief that pragmatic approaches that are deployable on existing handsets are needed to bridge the gap until we reach access layer utopia :-)<BR/><BR/>Jeff LaPorte<BR/><A HREF="http://www.eqo.com" REL="nofollow">EQO Communications</A>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11442099559756087417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303854965940453444.post-40413469505054830032007-06-21T04:51:00.000-07:002007-06-21T04:51:00.000-07:00yes, that's what I suggest in my article, sort of....yes, that's what I suggest in my article, sort of...Zec Online Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713715511176686857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303854965940453444.post-50644653771667913962007-06-20T18:01:00.000-07:002007-06-20T18:01:00.000-07:00Yeah, man -- the problem is that mobile devices ne...Yeah, man -- the problem is that mobile devices need to ride networks to be viable in the first place, and any wind of this getting back to the carriers would be a deal-breaker.<BR/><BR/>I mean, think about Apple trying to pull this with AT&T. Here they are trying to forge a relationship and for Apple to offer the option to bypass them completely would be an utter slap in the face.<BR/><BR/>I think the people most likely to try this would be someone like Google. They have the balls and resources to try something this major. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps Google could supply the infrastructure and Apple could ride it?

SIP makes sense and is consumer friendly but reduces your carrier to a commodity bit shifter. http://nickgogerty.typepad.com/designing_better_futures/2007/06/internet_eats_t.htmlngogertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352782182505033282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303854965940453444.post-42753445479073307882007-06-20T13:57:00.000-07:002007-06-20T13:57:00.000-07:00This is already done for the most part by Nokia an...This is already done for the most part by Nokia and the E series of phones. I can already make great quality VOIP calls using TruPhone. I am able to pick GSM, VOIP, or what ever is available with my preference being either if both are available. Nokia has had this technology for at least a year and I have been making VOIP calls from my E61 at least 6 months ago and now on my E61i. TruPhone also gives me the option to allow calls that come to my TruPhone # which is a 10 digit regular phone number to be forwarded to my GSM Mobile number provided by ATT. All these fantastic options are already out there. Just go look for the Nokia E series of phones.JebBrillianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348973373742404335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303854965940453444.post-40829082055843066202007-06-20T09:35:00.000-07:002007-06-20T09:35:00.000-07:00I love it and it makes too much sense from Apple's...I love it and it makes too much sense from Apple's perspective not to want to throw it in at some point. I can't see ATT being too enthusiastic about it though. My guess is that if the iPhone snares enough switchers for ATT, they'll decide that the benefits of adding VoIP (even more switchers) outweigh the loss in billable minutes. <BR/>It's going to happen sooner or later. The advantages of doing it first and under the protection of an exclusive contract is that everyone else will be scrambling to catch up.djfredflintstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153331034973031636noreply@blogger.com
