VoIP Roundup - Fri Oct 20, 2006
Will They Won't They? AT&T BellSouth Decision
Last week, the US DoJ (Dept of Justice) voted favorably on a merger announcement between AT&T and BellSouth. But the FCC wasn't so happy
about it, especially because there were no conditions imposed by the
DoJ. Will they won't they approve? Although I hope not, I think they
will, with some conditions. What do you think? Anyone remember
deregulation?
Skype Gearlog
Skype now has a weblog
dedicated to all manner of cool hardware and accessories for Skype,
including phones, cables, headsets, mice phones, keyboard/ phone
combos, and loads more. And holiday season is just around the corner.
Verizon May Spin Off Telephone Directory Division
With AOL trimming the fat and selling off several of their European divisions, they must have started a slimming trend. Now Verizon is considering spinning off
their telephone directories division. They don't want to sell due to
tax reasons, but a spin-off may help with their debts. I'm guessing
that more telecoms are feeling the pinch due to VoIP. Though those with
cable divisions may see an increase in business, what with all the triple-play and other bundled services they're now offering.
