Just in on email from VoIP Users Conference ...
Hi all,
In about 4 hours from this writing, the G.722 conference bridge will be brought up, the Talkshoe G.711 also, so you can call in via SIP, PSTN or Skype (experimental)
http://vuc.me for all the gritty details
IRC #voip-users-conference anytime today
We'll also be talking about hosted PBX systems and what they might need to bring telephone into not the 20th, but the 21st century.
It seems like only yesterday, but it was 130 years ago in 1879, that the Bell company acquired Edison's patents for the carbon microphone from Western Union. This made the telephone practical for long distances and it was no longer necessary to shout to be heard at the receiving telephone. Funny, but on most cell phones it is again
necessary to shout to be heard;

A Friendly Face on Your Business Card
Ever work, work, work, smile, laugh, work, work, work, and still need a small pat on the back? Like it's okay to be happy and have fun while working. It doesn't mean you're not working... a lovely friend of mine in Latin America, who is just completing his company's Asterisk PBX implementation to provide voip services, sent me this message today on Facebook:
"Hi Suzanne,
I hope you are doing great, and that business is going good as well. I just want to let you know that I have not forget about your request of writing something in Spanish to post on your blogs about what my company is doing. We are still working on the Asterisk,’s implementation for our company. Therefore, as soon we finish the project I will definitely let you know and I will write about our experiences in Spanish, so we can share them with the Latino community via your blog and your TMCNET channel.
In other order of ideas, thanks for the business card idea of putting your picture on it, because it really works. People respond better when they see a friendly face on the card, because they tend to remember you easily. You are the best networking person I ever meet; I believe you should write a book about how to approach people in business or something.
I’m so glad that I got to know you, because you are one of the more interesting persons I ever meet.
Take care, and I will keep you posted."

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.

Rethinking Technology, Is it Really Me against You?
Jim Van Meggelen made several interesting points and redefined a few items for us at Ecomm 2008. He is one of 3 authors of Asterisk: The Future of Telephony (found on Google Reader, Amazon, in your local library and more). He takes you into the mind of an SMB who is generally not as turned on as you are by new technologies nor taking risks but needs what will work to meet his needs.
He describes the typical IT department, often no one or the son of the owner. ;-) This is just a piece of the presentation. I learned much more from him and his partner Joel over dinner Friday night, but even more fun, we kind of became a new collaborative think tank for each other.
The company he represents serves SMBs with phones that don't lock them to one vendor, services that feel like the old stuff but better, with commoditized platforms, more flexible and scalable than they ever dreamed of.
Last, I grabbed a memorable quote: "If we don't hang together, we will hang separately = Co-opetition." Kudos to Jim! (I taught English for 16 years and always enjoyed the coining of new words to help the listener/reader to understand more the speaker/writer's thoughts. )
And besides, it's exactly one of DIDX's reasons for existing! Co-opetition. Throw out the "we are better than you," "change for the sake of change," "we are cooler than you are," and "fill in the blank _______ is dead" = the digitally smugs' attitude. How utterly claustrophobic. Ditch the digitally smug peer pressure and let's gather the best value in all of us from the past and present, the telco and the rethink, the incumbent and the web 2.0, traditions and innovations. Entities previously perceived as competitors cooperating with success for all.
Jim is the President and CTO of Core Telecom Innovations, a Canadian-based provider of open-source telephony solutions. (See everyone on Facebook and in person at VON.x in San Jose!)
