Bullish on BroadVoice

By Mark Evans | Published: October 31, 2005
Nothing like a mention in Wired Magazine to make you feel better about your prospects – at least if you're BroadVoice, which gets a big shot in the arm in the magazine's latest issue. In a mini-review suitable for framing – or highlight  in a press release, Wired proclaims “For people who keep homes in Manhattan, Paris, and [...]
