Does FCC Ruling on Verizon Mean Free Tethering for All?

Government is seldom credited for doing something right. I believe, that we are seeing a scenario in which regulation will actually work well protecting mobile consumers. Attaching consumer protection rules to sale of a highly demanded spectrum was a good and wise thing to do. Another example was a policy in 2009 forced AT&T to stop block any third-party VoIP application that allowed free or low-cost phone calls which circumvent that carrier’s network connection. And that’s very, very good news for the future of consumer VoIP.

Just How Big Will VoIP Market Grow? (Part 2)

PBX Phones Review: Altigen iFusion AP 300 Handset

iFusion all colours

Overall, I think Altigen had a great idea: take a mobile device and turn it into a stationary handset by adding Bluetooth speakerphone hardware to it. Unfortunately the issue is a bit more complicated than that. iPhone is designed around being a mobile device. Surely you can use it as a TV remote or Gaming console, surveillance system or a million other things that ultra-portable computer allows you to do. But in the end it will not do them as well as the device that is purposed for that single task. There is always going to be a one extra step to perform any single function on a multifunctional device and that is selecting which function you are going to use. Can it be used? Yeah, it can, if you are willing to live with the limitations. But why not get a SIP handset that will work with your SIP-based hosted PBX.
