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

CIO Questions answered - Your comments welcome - The reflections of the inner self

Briefly describe the typical size and organization of an IT team that you have managed. Include the division of responsibilities, how you track progress, etc. My experience ranges from me working independently, mainly to maintain my independence when I perform audits to managing a team of more than 25 - 100 consultants in various roles. I have handled multiple projects simultaneously where we have multiple consultants (typically from five to ten) working on multiple projects. We have used a set of tools to specifically monitor progress as well as the milestones. The projects involved were simple roll out of products (Microsoft Active Directory Domain Builds, Log Consolidation, Vulnerability Management) in line with product specifications to complex integration of systems that involves building multiple SoA interfaces for healthcare applications. For a successful project there needs to be proper delegation, personally I believe a person can deliver if he is not micromanaged, identifyi...

A Roadmap to move from Cloud to In premise - The reverse migration -- Is Cloudflation at myth?

 Cloudflation as a term is being used and talks on the spiralling cost of cloud bills for an organization. The easily available and provisioning options leads to workloads that run for no reasons, orphaned accounts and a gamut of costs that are accrued by multiple departments without much of an oversight. There is a trend to reduce the workloads and have a semblance of order. It is imperative that we have plans that helps to reverse the migration to cloud and bring back some of the workloads that might work cheaper to run local. Is there a roadmap to achieve this goal? A few pointers in this direction A roadmap for moving from the cloud to in-premise computing should include the following steps: Assess current workloads: Assess the current workloads that are running on the cloud and determine which workloads would be most suitable for in-premise computing. Identify in-premise infrastructure: Identify the in-premise infrastructure that will be needed to run the identified workloads....
