Blackberry Numero Uno for 2008

Though Apple Inc.’s iPhone topped Research in Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerry as the domestic smartphone leader for the last half of 2008, RIM has climbed back to the No. 1 position. The BlackBerry Curve was the No. 1 selling smartphone in the United States in the first quarter of 2009. Get more info.

Digging into my archives of case studies and articles on innovative www.didx.net members, I found DIDX Members Leverage the Blackberry.

"One recent client SACS, an international steel trading company with 14 locations worldwide and 200 business clients, already had a Cisco unified communications backbone for their IP PBX with integration of RIM (Research in Motion) Blackberry MVS (Mobility Voice Suite)."

Tristan of Switchvox and Matthew or IPiFony at ISPCON

What would you expect to experience at a trade show for Internet service providers? Listen to Tristan Degenhart, one of the original founders of Switchvox and also working with Digium as well as Matthew Hardeman who is system architect of IPiFony discuss voip equipment and hosted IP pbx at http://www.viddler.com/explore/suzannebowen/videos/6/. Both are refreshing young people in our industry with energy, technical intelligence and marketing savvy we can all learn from.

About ISPCON...
I didn't get a chance to have a personal talk with Tristan, but we did get together with IPiFony at the DIDX Bloggers' Breakfast during ISPCON in San Jose last week (November 2008). We would like to note that Alex Goldman, Peter Radizeski, and others from Jupiter Media did an excellent job bringing participants together with the best speakers from VoipLogic, ImageStream, Google, Cogent Communications, ServerPlus, Jaguar Communications, Switchvox, IPiFony and more.

The exhibits were low in number but high in innovation and real skills at networking effectively. We all remember exhibits where the booth personnel hide in a corner and never make eye contact. ;-)

Direct Inward Termination, Common Telephony Search Keyword

Just noticed that the key words phrase "Direct Inward Termination" is being used more and more in searches that land on my blogs, so I asked several to explain what it's all about. I'll add more answers as I get them in the coming year. This blog is meant to be INTERACTIVE and COLLABORATIVE. ;-)

John Cirner of TalkMotion: Suzanne, in the 15 or so years I worked in the PBX hardware industry we would associate "direct inward termination" as the programmed association of a DID number to a specific device. Applications such as DID to fax machine or DID to system port (or modems in the old days) for remote programming interface, would be common applications.

Delwar Hossain Khan, member of Freedom2Speak and Ecomm: "I have not dealt with telecom for years now but as far as I remember DID is an old telecom term, referring 2 a particular feature of PABX system, when caller seizes a trunk port, gets a 2nd dial tone and connects with the destination number(usually a Pabx extension port).

If we consider the international telecom network as one PABX system, this could be a simplified explanation.

Glossary on Higher Ground, Inc. web site:

DID (DIRECT INWARD DIALING)
A combination of features between the central office of the telephone company and the PBX. It allows a party calling into a PBX to be directly connected to a station associated to the number dialed, without the assistance of the operator.
