AT&T to Lay Off 1.5% of Workforce

[1]AT&T announced today that it'll be cutting about 1.5 percent of its workforce. The company calls it the "next step in streamlining its operations." AT&T had about 310,000 employees at the end of 2007, meaning the layoffs would affect about 4,650 workers. The layoffs mean a one time charge of about $374 million in Q1.

Guess [2]their triple play U-verse isn't growing as fast as they would like. Well, if they came to my neighborhood like they promised they would last year, I'd sign-up to be a customer. Assuming of course they solved the [3]exploding batteries problem. I don't need [4]AT&T burning down my neighborhood. I like my house thank you very much.

Microsoft Response Point Announces SIP Trunking Service Providers

[1]
[2]In March [3]Microsoft announced Microsoft Response Point Service Pack 1 (SP1), which adds SIP trunking support. Today, Microsoft is announcing that they have selected NGT and Cbeyond as recommended service providers for Response Point to offer SIP trunks. NGT became the first certified, Microsoft recommended service provider offering SIP phone services that works seamlessly with Response Point.

Today, Microsoft announced that Cbeyond and New Global Telecom (NGT) will offer their VoIP (SIP trunking) services for the Response Point phone system. Small business customers will be able to take advantage of simple, fully integrated VoIP service from these providers on Microsoft Response Point Service Pack 1 (SP1) when it is released this summer.

I spoke with Microsoft and NGT and one of the questions I asked was if CallerID support would be supported on the Response Point phones transmitted via the SIP trunks. I also asked about teleworkers since the last time I tested & reviewed Response Point, the phones had to be on the same LAN segment. They responded that CallerID is in the works and that teleworkers (remote phones) was something they were also working on but would probably not be part of the SP1 launch this summer. It's worth mentioning that the SIP trunks support both G.729 and G.711.

Update: They contacted me a few hours later and added the following:
"With regard to your questions about enabling remote workers. During the presentation/Q&A at the Response Point training today this was a very hot topic! NGT is working on a seat option to work in conjunction with the trunks and enable remote features, such as remote office and simultaneous ring. We'll have more details as SP1 becomes more generally available."

"We've conducted thorough tests of the services delivered by Cbeyond and NGT and are pleased to align with these leaders and engage their channels to deliver Response Point as a complete VoIP solution to small businesses," said Xuedong Huang, general manager of Microsoft Response Point. "Brought together, small businesses will experience all the benefits of Response Point's "magic blue button" for voice dialing with the reliable voice services of these providers."

Response Point chose to align with Cbeyond and NGT because of their focus on coverage, high quality of voice service and customer satisfaction. Each service provider uses the industry standard [4]Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking, which institutes a common protocol among digital voice providers worldwide and will boost quality of service and overall network health. Response Point customers will be able to take advantage of digital voice service based on SIP.

"Microsoft's attention to detail in catering to the small business segment makes Response Point a natural fit for Cbeyond's IP-based voice and data applications," said Rob Consolazio, vice president of Marketing and Business Development, Cbeyond. "Small businesses who combine our BeyondVoice with SIPconnect service and the Response Point phone system will gain the advantage of communication tools that big businesses enjoy, at an affordable price."
Each service provider plans to roll out unique partner programs for value-added resellers that will bolster their ability to reach and service small business customers with Response Point.

Podcast Interview with Digium CEO Danny Windham

[1]Just want to point you to [2]Rich Tehrani's interview with Digium CEO Danny Windham. He covers everything from open source to Web 2.0 & mashups. Digium is the 'heart and soul' of the Asterisk movement, so when their CEO speaks, I listen.

Truth be told, I haven't listened to the podcast myself yet, so I wonder if Rich mentioned to Danny my [3]humorous Hulk post from yesterday, which is about Digium. Well, my attempt at humor. [4]The Hulk article explains that Asterisk/Digium is the superhero saving us from the evil proprietary PBX villains. But our superhero (the Hulk/Digium/Asterisk) may have [5]some recent flaws that may need addressing by [6]Digium. Still, I have faith in Digium/Asterisk/Hulk. The Hulk has never let me down before.

Anyway, go [7]check out the podcast.

The Different Stages That Lead to VoIP Service

As VoIP account is based on the alteration of agenda data, so the account provider can absolutely do a lot with this technology. Among the best arresting of the casework that a account provider can accommodate are autumn of admission articulation mails in the mailbox, sending of email accessories and 3 way calling. Let us accede a book in which the user is active and wants not to be abashed by any blast calls. In such situations, the admission calls can be stored in the articulation mail of the subscribers. A being can additionally accelerate a articulation mail as an email adapter which can be accessed on a computer. Then there are affairs area up to three bodies can absorb themselves in appointment calling. In fact, calling through Articulation over IP is far from restricted. The account allows the user to allocution to the absolute ancestors in one call. Then there are additionally the options of sending images, videos and articulation to bodies with whom a being is conferencing...

Hulk Smash Asterisk 1.6!

Nerd Vittles had been lamenting the fact that the "Asterisk 1.6 development seemed to be on a collision course with the dinosaurs because of developer insistence on deprecating and removing commands from the application programming interface (API) in the name of technology enhancement."

Nerd Vittles then explains why this is a bad idea.

> The problem this poses is that
> applications and dialplans written for previous versions of Asterisk
> no longer function even though the code is barely a year old. In the
> corporate and government sectors, this would mean major, costly
> (annual) rewrites of code just to keep a functioning phone system.
> And, as we noted, these organizations buy phone systems to last a
> decade so such a development strategy would all but rule out use of
> Asterisk in the Fortune 500, medical, and government sectors.
>
True that!

Nerd goes on to sound the
> alarm regarding the future of Asterisk.

class="my-blockquote">Today we want to share the Digium response and
> address some of the new issues that have been raised. For those of you
> that haven't met him, Jared Smith, who co-authored the terrific
> [1]Asterisk: The Future of Telephony books, now serves as
> Digium's Community Relations Manager. Jared sent us a
> thought-provoking response which you can read in its entirety

> to the future of the Asterisk project.
Go read Nerd
> Vittles [3]entire post.

The main premise of Nerd
> Vittles post is that it would seem that Asterisk, the "Incredible Hulk
> of Open Source Telephony" is "breaking" the cardinal rule when it
> comes to programming - namely don't break your existing applications
> and be backwards compatible.

But apparently, the

Me: Hulk, I'd

> in the good ole' USA!

[4]


> Hulk: Hulk like USA except when USA Army tanks and
> helicopters shoot Hulk. Hulk like open spaces so Hulk jump high. Hulk
> like open source too.

Me: What are your
> thoughts on Nerd Vittles claiming Digium is breaking existing Asterisk
> applications in the new Asterisk 1.6?


> Hulk: Me hate puny Nerds. Nerds weak.


> Me: Yes, but what about his claim you are breaking Asterisk

Hulk: Me Hulk. Me like
> break things.

Me: Yes, but if you break
> Asterisk, you will no longer be the "Incredible Hulk of Open Source
> Telephony"

Hulk: You threaten Hulk. You
> make Hulk very angry.

Me: Whoah. Calm
> down there big guy. I'm just sayin'

Hulk:
> You no say! You not make Hulk angry.


> Me: Digium's Jared Smith said the following, "APIs change
> when major versions of the software are released. (APIs are
> Application Programming Interfaces -- think of them as building blocks
> inside of the Asterisk code that both Asterisk and third-party
> programs can use to do various things.) The problem is, when we make
> Asterisk better, we often have to change those APIs to do so. What are
> your thoughts?

Hulk: I like building
> blocks. Hulk like smash blocks of buildings!


> Me: So you like breaking the building blocks of programming?
> That's not a good idea. Do you know that proprietary PBXs often
> "locked you in" forcing you to use their solutions?


> Hulk: Hulk no like being locked in. [5]Thunderbolt
> Ross try capture Hulk. Make Hulk very angry.


> Me: Nerd gave an example of how the new version of
> Asterisk (1.6) breaks existing dialplans and why that's a bad thing.
> He writes: We defy anyone to explain why "making Asterisk better"
> required breaking every dialplan on the planet because some developer
> thought Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=timeout) was a code
> improvement over DigitTimeout(timeout).


> Hulk: You confuse Hulk. Me no understand.

/> Me: Exactly. Nor do the programmers that wrote
> code & APIs one way and now have to rewrite their code.


> Hulk: That not good?


> Me: No it isn't. Nerd Vittles succinctly explains:
/> Asterisk developers can't and
> won't be responsible for making sure they don't break existing
> applications and dialplan code, and Digium won't do anything to
> migrate existing code to new platforms. I'm not sure I understand how
> development of a piece of migration application code requires a
> knowledge of every third-party application in the universe.
> Presumably, the Asterisk development team does know when it changes
> the syntax of some command in the existing API. Why then would it be
> so difficult to provide another application that translated the "old
> code" into the "new syntax?" That doesn't require that any third-party
> apps be reviewed. And it doesn't stymie future development. Just
> provide the tool to fix stuff that you broke!
Any comments to this Hulk?

Hulk: Digium broke stuff? Only Hulk break stuff. Hulk mad!

Me: You should be. Only the Hulk should be breaking things. In fact, I know you only want to "break" the competition. You want to smash Cisco, Avaya, Nortel, don't you, Hulk?

Hulk: Yes! Hulk crush Cisco, Avaya, Nortel! HULK SMASH!


[6]

Nerd Vittles has some valid points about Asterisk 1.6.0 breaking existing APIs and I myself as a programmer am at a bit of a loss as to why Digium would do that. But to be fair to Digium, you should read Jared Smith's entire response posted on [7]Nerd Vittles' article, which presents Digium's point of view on why they did what they did. What are your thoughts on Digium changing APIs - often a simple syntax change - that breaks existing applications?

TringMe opens platform API to developers

Some great news for VoIP developers. Today [1]TringMe announced it has opened up its platform APIs for developers. According to [2]TringMe's blog, TringMe's open API will allow developers of Adobe Flex, AIR, Symbian S60 or even a pure web platform like PHP, AJAX to create web based, mobile or standalone voice enabled applications easily.

TringMe supports an alphabet soup of standards. In fact, they boldly state, "Our modular structure allows us to offer APIs to be used by any kind of application and not tie us to Adobe Flex, AIR, PHP, AJAX or any such technology or platform. We are offering interface which is cross-platform and scalable on any language." Further, TringMe today also announced it is opening up the source code of it's Flash based widgets. Well done TringMe!

On a related note, VoIP developers should also check out my post [3]here for information on TMC's educational seminar targeted specifically for VoIP and communications developers.

The Simple Acumen of Voip

The acumen that VoIP is taken the telecommunications industry by storm is for one simple reason, it is actual amount able and the acute consumers accept ample it out. Depending on your calling habits, you can absolutely save on your long-distance charges. Let us anticipate about this folks. If you use the VoIP account you absolutely do not accept any charge for a approved landline buzz anymore. That would apparently save you at atomic $20 to $40 bucks a month, not including any continued ambit accuse you may incur. If you accomplish a lot of continued ambit calls on your landline phone, you are answerable a account fee for the buzz and added fees for your continued ambit calls...

PIKA T1/E1 and analog boards now compatible with FreeSWITCH

PIKA T1/E1 and analog boards are now compatible with FreeSWITCH.

Some good news for PIKA this morning worth reading...

PIKA Technologies Inc., a developer of media-processing hardware and software, today announced that its entire family of analog and digital host media processing (HMP) boards is now compatible with FreeSWITCH, an open-source telephony platform typically used by large telecommunications companies deploying soft switches and other voice applications.

This is the latest partnership that PIKA has announced as part of its mission to support open-source-telephony application developers, having previously announced compatibility with the Asterisk platform.

"PIKA is thrilled to be partners with the FreeSWITCH community. This will mean more options for application development companies across the globe who are building FreeSWITCH-based solutions," said Terry Atwood, vice president of sales, marketing and customer care at PIKA. "Now, FreeSWITCH users will have access to PIKA's robust media-processing software and hardware, and as a result, be able to stabilize as well as add incremental value to their applications."
FreeSWITCH is designed to facilitate the creation of voice and chat-driven products scaling from a soft phone up to a soft switch. It can be used as a simple switching engine, a PBX, a media gateway or a media server to host IVR applications using simple scripts or XML to control the call flow.

"I was really excited to get PIKA hardware working in FreeSWITCH," said Anthony Minessale, Lead Developer and author of FreeSWITCH. "It's a welcome edition to our spec sheet. It's been long anticipated by our user base and I'm pleased to announce we have it working in time for our May 26th 1.0 release. I'm looking forward to meeting with PIKA in person this August at Clue Con 2008 http://www.cluecon.com."

The PIKA product suite comprises a range of hardware and software designed to support applications built on open-source platforms. These building blocks are designed to provide cost-effective and reliable network connectivity to bridge between legacy TDM networks and open source-based IP telephony applications. With the PIKA Daytona analog FXO (trunk) and FXS (station) boards, and the PrimeNet digital T1/E1 boards, FreeSWITCH developers can select the hardware that meets their application's particular needs.

trixbox 2.0 launches

trixbox version 2.0 launched today. Current trixbox customers will automatically receive their upgrade to 2.0 between today (Tax Day) April 15th and Wednesday, April 16th, and best of all, it's 100% FREE. trixbox Pro Version 2.0 is a big release for trixbox, in fact [1]Fonality boldly claims it as "actually our biggest ever, adding over 120 enhancements to your phone system."

Here are some highlighted new features:

All Editions
FONcall™
FONcall™ is a plug-in for the Firefox web browser which turns any phone number on any web site into a link. Just click the link and your phone will automatically dial -- it's that simple. FONcall will even take your Aastra and [2]Polycom off-hook so the whole experience is hands-free. Use FONcall with CRM software for an instant productivity gain. Learn more about FONcall here.

Calendar-Based Scheduling
Many customers wanted a way to create custom schedules for specific dates on a calendar -- well, now you can! Have your call menu do something spooky on October 31st or something festive during the week of Christmas.

Night Mode
Have your office manager dial 3 keys on their phone and have your phone system go to work so you can go to sleep.

New Phone Support
Support an entirely new line of sleek Aastra and Polycom phones, including the Aastra 51i, 53i, 55i, 57i, 57i CT. We also are supporting the Polycom 320, 330, 550, 560 and 650 models.

Hands Free Phone Auto-Provisioning
By just connecting your phones to your network, extensions will be created, configuration files for your phones generated and your phones automatically assigned to the new extensions! Hands free phone auto-provisioning is supported on all supported Aastra models and Polycom models with firmware 2.2 and above.

BLF (Busy Lamp Field) Support
You can now view whether other users of your phone system are on the phone directly from your phone! Using the Company Directory, you can easily drag-and-drop users into your BLF area on any Aastra model with BLF support. We have even added automatic detection and support for the Aastra 536M and 560M sidecars to extend the number of BLF keys available on your Aastra phone.

Linked Company and Name Directories
Your Company Directory and Name Directory (spell-by-name) now respect all your branch offices instead of just your local office. This means that callers can now locate employees across all linked branches by calling any individual branch.

E1 and BRI
Under the main tab labeled "Options", you will see a choice labeled "cards". This page now supports using E1s and auto-configuring BRI cards.
Alerts, Alerts, Alerts!
A host of new alerts are now available. Receive alerts via email or text message about the following new events: red/yellow alarms on PRI, RAID hard disk failure, low or no-voltage warnings on your analog lines, and more.

Reseller Single-Screen Management
Resellers: now you can manage all of your customers from one Admin interface. You can hot-switch between installations with two clicks of the mouse in the lower-right corner of the Admin Panel.

Enterprise Edition
All Features of Standard Edition, plus…

FindMe®
Now callers can find you wherever you are: on your cell phone, at home, or at a branch office based on rules you create. Make FindMe work for you with various features such as: a scheduler, simultaneous ringing, and privileged lists. Our new FindMe feature is even smart enough to sense when you have walked away from your desk and thereby ring you on your cell phone (this feature requires HUD).

[3]
Boomerang® Mobile Integration
Welcome to our trademark Boomerang feature. Used in conjunction with FindMe, Boomerang allows you to send a call that has been forwarded to your cell phone right back to any extension on your PBX. Simply press a few keys on your cell and...presto...that call is redirected to your assistant or back to your own desk. You can even record calls on your mobile using Boomerang!

Call Screening The coolest feature in my opinion
Call screening allows you to talk to who you want, when you want. When you enable FindMe® on your extension, optionally use call screening to screen the calls that are forwarded to your mobile, home, or other phone numbers. Before the call is forwarded, the voice prompt will ask the caller to record their name, and that recording will be played to you before you accept the incoming call. trixbox Pro takes call screening to the next level!

Call Center Edition
All Features of Standard Edition, plus…
All Features of Enterprise Edition, plus…

Barged Call Report
With the ability to barge calls using HUD Agent, your call center manager can now run reports on these barged calls from the CDR Reports page.

Agents on Cell Phones - Improved
Queue calls which are forwarded to cell phones now have press-to-accept automatically enabled to prevent accidentally dropping a queue call into personal cell phone voicemail.

XO Anywhere Enhanced Mobile Features

XO Communications has enhanced it's mobile worker feature-set on their XO Anywhere platform. It bundles mobility and Unified Communications for customers with XOptions Flex, IP Flex, and IP Flex with VPN service. XO Anywhere allows your remote workers to work from anywhere as if they were in the office. It simplifies communications for mobile workers with a single Flex number that makes it easier for contacts to find them. It comes with an Outlook toolbar that allows you to manage your phone features in real time.

[1]

XO Communications, today announced that it has launched XO Anywhere, a new service that helps improve worker productivity with mobility and unified communications features. XO Anywhere turns any phone into an office phone, providing an ideal solution for companies with mobile and distributed workforces.

A recent study from the research firm the Yankee Group shows that 44 percent of all employees today at small and medium-sized businesses are mobile workers. Of this mobile workforce, 49 percent are mobile professionals (senior executives, managers, IT workers, consultant), 31 percent are field workers (sales, technical support, and other field-related services), and 21 percent are specialty workers with varying degrees of mobile job functions. [1] "Solutions like XO Anywhere are necessary as increasing numbers of workers find themselves outside of the office," said Steve Hilton, vice president of Yankee Group's Enterprise Research Group. "Being able to maintain contact with customers and partners without regard to physical location will help increase worker productivity and positively impact a business' bottom line."

Mobility Features
XO Anywhere bundles a variety of mobility features to help companies improve the productivity of their remote and mobile workers:
&bull; Simultaneous Ring: Allows up to 10 different devices to ring at the same time, connecting the call to the first device that answers. Customers need only one number to be reached wherever they are.
&bull; Remote Office: Enables employees to set up a remote office instantly, make or receive calls from any device, display their office phone number on the caller ID, and charge all calls to the office's XO service.
&bull; Click to Dial: Provides seamless integration with [2]Microsoft Outlook and web browers. Users to simply select and click on any contact or phone number to make a call.
&bull; Web-Based Tool Bar: Allows users to personally manage all features online at any time.

"XO Anywhere gives an employee the freedom to be on the road, attending a conference or working from home, and have the peace of mind that they will not miss an important phone call from a client or coworker," said Nicola Jackson, director of IP and converged services at XO Communications. "We expect our customers to find XO Anywhere an integral tool for increasing employee performance, while their employees benefit from its ease of use and convenience."

XO Anywhere is available now, and can be ordered as an additional feature for customers of XO IP Flex , XO IP Flex with VPN, and XOptions Flex. An administrator simply assigns licenses to users who are able to download the software and toolbar onto their computers.

If you recall, earlier this year, [3]XO Communications [4]introduced the innovative bandwidth-based pricing XO IPfolio. As I wrote then, "Instead of paying per minute for voice calls like both traditional TDM and even current VoIP offerings do, XO will be completely bandwidth-based pricing. Considering that voice is simply another application riding over IP, it certainly makes sense, but the premium of charging per-minute rates or per line rates even for VoIP calls is a hard habit to break."

According to XO, "IPfolio gives businesses and enterprises a broad range of IP convergence and networking service options, including XO IP Flex, XO SIP, XO One iPBX, XO MPLS IP-VPN, and XO IP Flex with VPN. In addition, XO Communications offers a new and groundbreaking pricing that simplifies how businesses can buy and scale IP services to support their communications needs. "

XO Communications is the first major nationwide service provider to offer an innovative pricing concept for converged IP services that eliminates pricing based on the number of voice lines. Unlike other approaches to IP pricing that still are based on traditional services pricing models, XO's bandwidth-based pricing offers rates based on the size of the port, not on the number of voice lines.

Customers can simply select an IP port speed from 1.5 to 45 Mbps, a calling plan and any additional features. In addition, customers pay nothing for incremental lines or voice channels provisioned within the port speed they have with their service. This innovative and unique bandwidth-based pricing is now being offered with XO IP Flex, XO IP Flex with VPN and XO SIP. For more information about XO Anywhere click [5]here.
