Many people expressed the opinion that we would likely be carrying multiple devices, depending on context, and thus were inclined to dismiss the idea that a war might be coming as hyperbole. 

Nevertheless, there’s certainly jockeying for position going on as TI prepares to ship 1W multi-core processors, operating system vendors duke it out, and the device manufacturers themselves battle for the hearts and minds of consumers. 

Friday’s conference call was recorded on Calliflower.  In attendance: Tim Panton, Carl Ford, Jonathan Greene, Brad Jones, Bill Volk, Jim Courtney, Doug Renert, Kim Dushinski, Barlow Keener, Sheryl Breukrer, Ken Camp, Todd Spraggins, Sergio Meinardi, Misha Nossik, and Aga Magdolen.

Along the way, we also managed to talk about Open networks, telecom and Skype, whether interoperability really matters at all, and the communications continuum idea that folks like Jeff Pulver have been actively promoting. And we managed to convince lee to dust off his crystal ball, and prognosticate on the future of telecommunications.

Last Friday morning we discussed Windows 7, people’s experience with it, and the controversies surrounding it.

Several people on the call were running Windows 7, on a variety of platforms ranging from netbooks to Mac’s and various Windows machines.  We talked about various aspects of the experience, including the Device Stage. The consensus was that the OS was fast, lighter-weight than Windows Vista, and stable. 

We also discussed a few of the controversies:

  • What does Windows 7 mean for Ubuntu?
  • Should Microsoft have used BitTorrent to manage the download?
  • What will Microsoft do with Windows 7 and the burgeoning netbook market?

On the Calliflower Conference Call: Jonathan Greene, Jonathan Jensen, Jim Courtney, Frank Abrams, Mike Pruyn, Dan York, Maxim, Sergio Meinardi, Jeb Brilliant, Rob Enderle, Dave Michels, and Chuck Willemsen.

A basic use case scenario would be where a project administrator or team manager creates a virtual “meeting room” with a set of project- or task-related documents, such as engineering drawings or legal contracts. The host can then invite other team members or individuals that he wants to have access to the room. The documents are accessible at any time by the meeting room members whom also have the ability to upload their own files and add additional participants. The files can be stored for as long as they are needed for the project and controlled with a version management process. When the relevant team wants to hold real time conversations they can either launch an “instant ad hoc conversation” or schedule a meeting and launch a conference call and/or team chat session via Skype’s multi-party calling and group chat services. Team members can be brought into voice conference sessions via either Skype or SkypeOut.

For this call Steve hosted a desktop sharing presentation that demonstrated how rooms were created and how conference conversations (voice and/or chat) were set up. InnterPass is a hosted work or community team-building service with additional tools for screen sharing, email, inviting and removing team members as well as the level of member participation permitted. Since its mid-October launch there have been over 42,000 downloads of their Skype Certified version.

During the call there is mention of a GoToMeeting session; while we could not record that, the PowerPoint deck used at that session is attached.

OnState’s Virtual PBX uses much of the software and architecture developed for their OnState Call Center service. Basically it will receive calls from the PSTN (including wireless phones), a toll-free (”800″) number, Skype or SkypeIn and can direct them to designated recipients, whether on Skype, a traditional fixed line handset or a wireless phone.

Pat included a presentation that covered schematically how their Virtual PBX service works and compares it with traditional PBX services. It also includes enhanced features, such as call queuing. You can view the presentation as a sharable Google document here.

This morning we talked with Voxbone CEO Rod Ullens about the launch of their iNum service that provides a single country agnostic number under the +883 country code. An iNum number takes advantage of Voxbone’s IP-based intercontinental network such that calls from any location worldwide are either free or at a very low cost.

Rod spent some time outlining the key features and benefits of the service, how calls are made and the general rollout plans for this service. Spokespersons from four iNum Service Provider Partners – Voxeo, Mobivox, Truphone and OnState discussed how they will be using the service and their rollout plans. Of course, iotum’s CalliFlower will also announce  Wednesday their implementation of Voxbone’s service for access to Calliflower conference calls such as this one.

Today they believe we’re on the cusp of the same kind of revolution, but this time for desktop video.

VP Jan Linden and Product Manager John Hermansen discussed desktop video technologies, the challenges associated with delivering quality desktop video experiences, and what GIPS is doing to address them.  To help promote the work that they’ve done, GIPS has put out a whitepaper and video demonstration.

It’s Regulatory Thursday, and Carl Ford leads a discussion of the the end of the enhanced service exemption.  The FCC wants to revoke the ESP exemption for Interconnected VoIP traffic. Such a decision would not only have a financial impact on Interconnected VoIP provider. The FCC’s counsel has already told the court that this exclusive jurisdiction means that states can still apply things like state USF contributions and other things (regardless of whether it is an information service and regardless of whether there is federal jurisdiction). Revoking the ESP exemption is a huge problem.
