Q and A

I’ve got questions; help me with some answers.

Is telecom boring? Is the public excited about anything in telecom besides the iPhone?

Is voice-over-IP no longer progressive? (I think I know the answer to that one.) What would make VoIP phone service interesting again? What features would make you want to use your VoIP phone service instead of your cell phone when the VoIP “phone” (whatever form) and the cell phone are right next to each other?

What should phone service cost? If it cost nothing to dial overseas, would you make more international calls? Is the price already so low that toll charges don’t really matter?

Who’s on first?

What kind of convergence/integration do university people really want? Voicemail by e-mail? E-mail by voice? Softphones on the computer and web browsers on the phone? More video capabilities?

Would most people be happy if we just provided a bunch of ringtones and background pictures?
