Yes, I Am Covering the AT&T / Starbucks Story, But I Got Started With 3Screens Because of U-verse (IPTV)

There’s been quite a bump in readership and media coverage because of my coverage on the first AT&T WiFi / Starbucks store in San Antonio.

While I am very excited about the notion of having free WiFi at Starbucks, there is more to the story here.  From the start, I have always felt that AT&T was about to give me more than just an alternative to cable. 

Starting next month, I will be going on my third year of writing from the mind’s eye of the consumer of what it’s like to be a ‘three screens" customer.

I hope my perspectives are helpful to you and welcome your continued participation in the conversation.

My instinct tells me that I am just getting going…..

What Is SkySipTel?

Source: www.voip-news.com

So I saw a semi-coherant item on TMCnet about SkySipTel and was curious . . . what is this thing? The item - for lack of a better word - seemed to be somewhere between press release and ESL practice essay.

I did what any good reporter would do: Searched SkySipTel.

Apparently it’s a VoIP provider that offers softphone PC-to-phone calling for cheap rates (it seems) as well as other services like call forwarding and voicemail. And they have at least one misspelled word on the website. Hello, pet peeve.

Oh and they have a new softphone update available too . . . Click here for that.

Via AP Newswire
babyTEL, a leading Canadian provider of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone service, is expanding into the United States market; offering retail customers freedom from both expensive traditional phone lines and big VoIP players with their service challenges.

"We are nimble. We are customer focused. And we have a proven technology that our loyal Canadian customers love," says Stephen Dorsey, babyTEL President and MIT engineering graduate. "Now we are open for business in the U.S. supplying Americans with no hassle VoIP service, U.S. phone numbers and responsive tech support, something the so-called giants have trouble delivering. We know the key to success is serving, not alienating, the customer."

Beyond the boring "lowest price" mantra in the industry, babyTEL is about innovation and supplying customers with true VoIP benefits that traditional phone lines can’t deliver and big VoIP companies don’t deliver.

Out of the gate, in addition to including all the expected features of a VoIP service, babyTEL is offering advanced services like fax-to-email and multiple devices that ring simultaneously. This "virtual extension" service is akin to extension lines in your home, but unrestricted by geography: they ring in your home, at your office or thousands of miles away on your laptop’s soft phone all at the same time.

babyTEL will be continuously introducing other exciting advanced services that exploit VoIP throughout 2007 to further empower its users. All at a market competitive price beginning at $21.95 per month with unlimited calls in the U.S. and Canada.

babyTEL is also known as a "provider of Providers" by supporting resellers and agents through its partner program with white label and branded VoIP services.
