The Year That Was in VOIP

If you want a recap of what happened in VOIP this year, VOIP Central has a comprehensive month-by-month account of who did what. When you look at the list, it really shows just how much went down. For a forward look at VOIP, check out my post on the different challlenges facing carriers looking to grow their own VOIP businesses. On a VOIP-related note, I've been meaning to highlight a recent post by Russell Shaw on how he believes Net2Phone could find itself in the hands of Rupert Murdoch's MySpace or Amazon.com. Net2Phone, which has about 100K, subscribers, is in the midst of an odd situation where IDT is trying to purchase the shares in Net2Phone it doesn't already own – but not having too much success.
