The Voice Over IP Insurrection

Chris Holland writes "Daniel Berninger wrote the most informative article about Voice over IP I've ever read, over at Om Malik's blog. It outlines in great details the history behind the evolution of traditional communication technologies framed within the convergence of various Internet-related technological advances, and the challenges PSTN telcos are facing to hold-on to their shares of this lucrative pie. Beyond mere technological issues, Berninger offers great parallels and insights on past, current, and future governmental regulatory policies. A must read for anyone who's ever talked on the phone."

Re:Traditional Press often no better

There's so much junk on traditional media, too. Isn't that pretty obvious by now?

Absolutely not. As long as the news is reported by a major traditional outlet like CBS and a veteran reporter like Dan Rather (or the rest of the crew on 60 Minutes) with decades of experience *interpreting* the news for us news *consumers*, I'll continue to believe it all.

I ran a lamp, a radio and my laptop for hours after the power went out. A modem would also have run. How? Do you really need to ask? Fucktard.
