Guest Host: Dan York
Out at DEMO in San Diego, Alec saw a demo from MessageSling. Today we had one of the founders, Scot Junkin, on the call to talk about what they are doing with making messaging easier. They are also doing some interesting things from an architecture point of view with running Asterisk and FreeSWITCH servers up on Amazon’s EC2 cloud.
Next - yesterday, Sept 9th, Apple had their “Let’s Rock” keynote where Steve Jobs introduced iTunes 8.0, a new form factor for the iPod Nano, new release of the iPod Touch (including a direct challenge for it to be a game controller), their new “Genius” playlist creation tool and much more.
We’ll talk about this latest buzz from Cupertino - what do you all think of it? what stood out the most from the announcements? Can Apple try to push this “Genius” thing any harder? Initial impressions of iTunes 8.0?
We also talked about the case recently where Google News pulled up an item from 2002 about United Airlines entering bankruptcy and posted that as new news, causing United’s stock to drop by 11%! Does this speak to larger issues about our reliance on automated results?
We ended with a discussion of RIM’s announcement of a Blackberry flip phone.
On the call: Dan York, James Swinger, Hudson Barton, Martyn Davies, Brad Jones, Jim Courtney, Jeanette Fisher, Jeb Brillian, Ian Hood, Bill Volk, Sheryl Breuker, Saleem Khan and Scot Junkins.

Does Peer-to-Peer (P2P) SIP represent the future of SIP communication? Does it have the possibility to enable the creation of a peer-to-peer communication cloud that could rival Skype but be based on open standards? Where would P2P SIP fit? In an enterprise environment? consumer? What’s the technology behind it all, anyway?
Today’s Squawk Box was a fascinating one for those of us interested in the network level of how VoIP can all work. Today, pretty much all SIP-based telephony is “server-centric”. You have SIP servers to which SIP clients register. The SIP servers, be they IP-PBXs, call managers, whatever… control the overall conversation. But what if you could have SIP in a *serverless* environment? What if SIP endpoints could “self-organize” and create P2P clouds? How would this work? How secure would it be? Who would use it?
Our guest on the call was David Bryan, co-chair of the IETF’s P2PSIP Working Group and also CEO of SIPpeerior Technologies. We dove into all of those questions mentioned above and many more. It was quite an enjoyable and interesting call and we hope you find it helpful to understand this potential new way of organizing SIP communication.
