Ok, so they released a new product... wait the product is a text file.
Maybe next they'll announce gpsPod... which is a text file containing GPS coordinates of your address. Save the file to your iPod, when you lose it, the person who finds it can return it. And this is a FREE service!!!!
VoIP over the Internet vs. VoIP over provider net

Getting VoIP phone service from a provider such ad Vonage is pretty good I think, but I hate when I see a trade mag that says "Go to VoIP now or else your company will go bankrupt" or something stupid and then a manager sees the headline and decides right then he's going to do VoIP.
Trying to do VoIP in an enterprise with branch offices using DSL/Cable links and encrypting them with VPNs is tough. I've experienced this first hand. When voice packets have to traverse multiple providers, who knows when you're going to get high latency. The kind that will make your phone quality terrible and annoying. This make sense really because there's now QoS on the Internet really.
I've heard of a few companies trying to do VoIP this way. It's cheap because you just need broadband in each branch office, but it's way too unreliable. They find out the hard way that they still need their frame-relay network to do decent VoIP. Or else if the can get SLAs from a provider on broadband links they maybe could do it. But a lot of times the big providers can't give you SLA based broadband in small cities.

Maybe you didn't notice my post referred to an article on The Onion. Are you saying that the writers of The Onion's articles have small vocabularies?
