The Frrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee Phone

Initially thought of calling this blog.. " Death of the Phone Company.. Long Live the Phone Company" then changed it to something interesting and simple..

Well Oxymorons are fun, and the way the voice calling is evolving, it is a great time to be in. First we had Google Voice - The grand central of ideas coming to fruition and then we have a slew of products that make use of google Voice. There are so many opportunities that we may see the old gaurds failing if they do not move up the order and provide the necessary services as well as upgrade technologies. Gizmo5 and similar companies may take the mantle of AT&T.. But then the biggest block to the move from PSTN to VoIP is the cost of the phone instruments. Hopefully this is on its way too.. a tumultous times but an area to be watched in the coming days.

How do I use Google Voice, Gizmo5, My Android G1, and SIPDroid and a Clearwire Modem? These devices can make a big difference to how I have come to use my Phone in the last few days. Freedom from SIM... I do not have a SIM and all my calls have been through Wifi. Wherever you go the Clearwire Wimax Network provides the basic connectivity. Gizmo5 is a wonderful SIP Server which does the switching, Voice call a email id is something we would have been happy with and it is getting nearer. How many times have we wondered instead of moving here and forth to just call in and say.. No more emails from you .. I had enough, and funnily without a phone number.

So how much time does it take to be on a VoIP network and make calls to every one as you please .. atleast within the United States.

1. Set up a Gizmo5 account - 3 Minutes - Note down your SIP number that starts with 1-747

2. Set up a Google Voice Account - 3 minutes - If you have an invite and you already have a gmail account you are ready to go.

3. Install SIPDroid on your G1. 2 minutes

4. Connect SIPDroid to the Gizmo5 account - proxy01.sipphone.com - 2 minutes

5. Register the Gizmo5 number in Google Voice - 3 minutes.

Presto ready to go.. Make calls from your G1 by logging into Google Voice and dial from your desktop and provide with google voice to connect you to your Gizmo 5....

F.RRRRR..EEEE Calling A World without a SIM Card

Where are we headed ... A crystal ball into Cybersecurity in the next five years .. Are we ready?

The future of Cyber Security: Trends and Predictions for the Next 5 years The field of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, and the threats are only getting more sophisticated. In the next five years, we can expect to see a number of trends emerge in the field of cybersecurity, including: The rise of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is already being used by cybercriminals to develop more sophisticated and targeted attacks. As AI continues to develop, it is likely that cybercriminals will be able to use it to even greater effect. The increasing use of cloud computing. Cloud computing has many benefits, but it also introduces new security challenges. Cloud-based data is often more vulnerable to attack than data that is stored on-premises. The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is connecting billions of devices to the internet, which creates a vast new attack surface for cybercriminals. IoT devices are often poorly secured, making them easy targets for attack. The shortage
