Around the Blogosphere… Friday Wrap-Up

Source: www.voip-news.com

Tom Keating from the VoIP & Gadgets Blog kicks us off this blistery cold Friday with news on an upcoming webinar from United Communications.  He’s right - it’s certainly not the sexiest topic of the day (that honor would probably go to The Spice Girls performance at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show), but it’s something that everyone should have top-of-mind.  If you don’t, you’ll surely pay the price, in more ways than one.  Be like a Boy Scout and be prepared.TMC has news on the latest blow delivered to the Vonage team in the court system.  It seems that their request for a patent hearing has been denied, and they’re going to have to shell out $120 million to Verizon in settlements.  While it comes as no surprise to Vonage, as it was most likely expected, lately they’ve been getting good at keeping their head down and their focus on running their business.  Back to basics, everyone, back to basics.Andy from the VoIP Watch talks about the recent JAJAH and Jangl deal that broke news yesterday.  He sees it as a band-aid approach, and one that the industry expected to happen … JAJAH can’t exist merely on free usage and had to step things up a bit in order to remain competitive in this do-or-die marketplace.  The future remains to be seen.And last but not least, if you want to marry your VoIP service with the latest and greatest in video conferencing tools, be sure to stop by VoIP-News and check out their list of Top 10 Best VoIP Video Conferencing Tools to make sure you have exactly what you need, when you need it.  Don’t get caught with your pants down like one tabloid-hungry popwreck.
