Deutsche Telekom (DT) and France Telecom (FT) have formed a joint venture for procurement. Shouldn’t they just merge and get it over with?
In the Orange announcement last week, the two telecommunications companies are establishing a “50/50” joint venture in the fourth quarter of 2011. After three years, the two expect to save a [...]

Digium (www.digium.com) played the numbers game last week. The company bragged about having Asterisk downloaded more than two million times for 2010.

The SIPNOC conference is designed for SIP network operations personnel, such as NOC engineers, “instead of a high-level conference for executives.” The event will be held at the Hyatt Dulles Hotel in Herndon, VA (yes, a short drive from [...]

I’ll be running around at AstriCon 2010 (www.astricon.net) on Wednesday, October 27 and Thursday, October 28. Don’t know if I’ll be tweeting on site; the last time I was at the Gaylord, wireless connectivity was hit-or-miss.
If you are looking to brief, email me. Or look for me in the loud, er, expressive [...]

The Digium Astricon (www.astricon.net) show has become Digium’s annual event to announce Big News. Three years ago, the acquisition of Switchvox took place. Two years ago, it was the Skype/Digium interop agreement, while last year it was an IBM/Digium agreement.
Perhaps the big clue is Digium’s Kevin Fleming giving Wednesday morning’s keynote. From [...]
