SightSpeed CEO Peter Csathy really didn't have to respond to the various speculation about why Dell chose SightSpeed as their partner for their video calling service. It was more of a surprise to me that Dell was considering doing video calling than that they chose SightSpeed to deliver that service.

Really, it boils down to one key fact: SightSpeed delivered what Dell. Because SightSpeed has worked with partners in Dell's league before, and more importantly, they listened to what Dell wanted, they were able to deliver. Would Skype been as flexible as the folks from SightSpeed? I doubt it.

Photo courtesy of iStockphoto, christine balderasMany companies are now offering voice APIs for their telephony infrastructure, making it possible to create so-called voice mashups. One of the first was Jaduka, another that has gotten a lot of press is Ribbit.

APIs are necessary to create voice mashups. They allow you to treat voice and data interchangeably, building applications like an erector set. Twitterfone and Fonolo are great examples of voice mashups.

Is there money in this? I don't believe so. Read the piece I wrote for GigaOM: Is There Money in Voice APIs?

I think the PR folks have added me to their email lists, as I seem to be getting a lot more emails lately. Like this one from i2Telecom, which is now offering MyGlobalTalkâ?¢, which places Internet telephony in the hands of every cellular phone user, independent of wireless carrier, handset manufacturer, or the type of wireless carrier voice/data plan involved.

If you have one of the supported smart phones, it's an application install that, presumably, reroutes calls through their VoIP gateway. Have a dumb phone? Then call the gateway yourself and save some money.

Bah. It's the same old thing, using the same old tricks. Please.

US-CERT and other security experts have warned of a critical design problem affecting all DNS implementations. The Domain Name Service is responsible for converting readable names like www.heise-online.co.uk into the IP addresses that computers can handle, such as 193.99.144.85. DNS is thus the internet equivalent to a phonebook and without it, nothing works. Anyone who takes control of it can control the internet.

BroadSoft are running a contest to try and get you to write one. Started on 8 July 2008, and running through 2 September 2008, the Xtended Voice Mashup Contest is about getting Web 2.0 and telecom developers to integrate BroadWorks VoIP features with other applications using the Xtended Services Interface (Xsi) RESTful API.

The developers who make the best apps will win cash money, but the real question is: what will they build? Will they solve a real problem or reinvent something that's been reinvented already? Will these apps—beyond the three prize winners—turn into real dollars?

The Asterisk development team has released version 1.4.5 of libpri. This release was made solely to correct a problem introduced in version 1.4.4.

In February of 2008, a change was made in libpri to support inband audio (progress) when the far end of a PRI circuit issues a RELEASE message, indicating they want to terminate the call. This change was necessary
for some applications where the telco providing the circuit wants to provide a ‘release message’ before actually hanging up the call.  Unfortunately, many users have PRI circuits that are not compatible with this behavior, and this results in their PRI B-channels being left open for anywhere from 2 to 20 seconds (or more) before the calls are finally terminated.

This version of libpri retains the ability to operate in this mode, but it is now a configurable option which defaults to being ‘off’. The next releases of Asterisk will have configuration options to turn this behavior on if the user desires.

Thanks for using libpri and Asterisk!

An interesting aggregator site called Alltop recently launched, which lists a number of high-quality VoIP sites along with their headlines. It's designed for people that do not use RSS feeds, which is still the majority of web surfers.

While my personal technology blog is among the blogs listed, The VoIP Weblog is not one of them-yet. I did suggest it to them and hope to see it among the aggregated blogs as well.

I figured the folks at Truphone would be first with a VoIP over WiFi calling app available through the App Store. Sure enough, they are, or at least among them!

I don't have an iPhone-first or second edition, so I can't really comment on how well this application works or doesn't. It's a nice idea whose time has come, no doubt! Meanwhile, if I need to use Truphone, I've got plenty of Nokia's to install it on!
