During the Time Warner Cable debate over metered billing, McSlarrow played blog patty cake with consumer advocates, [...]

Virgin America announced today that they’re the “first and only” U.S. carrier to offer Wi-Fi service across their entire fleet. While that’s great news for broadband junkies and a nice step forward for a sector that’s been painfully stunted, the relatively small (fewer than 30 planes) size of their fleet made the task substantially easier [...]

Earlier this week Jabra announced a hot new line of VoIP headsets, the BIZ 2400 series.

Comprised of nine (9) different models, the Jabra BIZ 2400 series come with the [...]

The continuing debate as to how VoIP services will ultimately be classified isn’t stopping the FCC from enacting legislation towards VoIP providers. According to PC Mag, the FCC approved an important consumer protection measure on Wednesday that will require failing VoIP service providers to give “reasonable notice” to customers and regulatory officials before they shut [...]

I know the title of this post is telling you something that you probably already know. Unfortunately, not everyone is as informed as you are. Case in point, Larry Midge at Cnet. Larry is worried about land lines. His kid’s prefer their cellphones. He even bought one of them Vonage – which they never even used. [...]

Back in April we ran a contest centered around the Citel C4110 Phone which in addition to SIP, supports the IAX2 protocol. Just a quick update that the Citel C4110 is shipping today, if you pre-ordered some of these your order will likely be shipping from VoIPSupply.com today. Link to the original article…

Last week I got the opportunity to get out of the office and head down to beautiful Boca Raton Florida for a retailing conference. While I was there I got the opportunity to check out a ton of new products and services that are either new or coming to market. One product that caught my [...]

Hidden in last week’s news that the FCC would soon be imposing new regulations requiring  VoIP providers to provide “reasonable notice” to customers and regulatory officials before they shut down, was a new rule requiring land line, cellular and VoIP providers to port numbers to another provider within one business day. It’s funny (to me [...]
