[SciTechBlog] Google Voice without the Google number - SciTechBlog - CNN.com Blogs: I have used Google Voice for about three weeks now and I like the fact that if I am out of the office and someone is trying to get in touch with me it will ring as many contact numbers as I list in my file such as my home number, cellphone, office number, etc. I also think it's pretty cool that the voice mail is transcribed into words on my computer as well as my cellphone email when I login to my gmail account.

[Emerging Communications Blog] Interview: Martin Geddes (Telecom Business Model Innovation ...: I think there will be some - maybe ten years out from now, I can imagine there being half a dozen global communications platforms that aggregate together existing - interconnect with existing landline, mobile, and Skype and Facebook and a whole bunch of other SIP termination points and your talking picture frame and your TV, and, and....So, there'll be these new platforms that are the mass networks, but they aren't necessarily branded and sold directly to the customer and they don't necessarily correspond either to today's telcos, which have the physical structure underneath.

[Florian's Blog] Google Voice Missed Robbery Attempt « Florian's Blog: If network access was splitted between packet transportation and end user voice services, Gvoice could buy a reseller access plan from ATT and set up a VOIP package for consumers just like they buy termination cost from Clec or ITSP. It would mean a different business model for Google, as it would cost them more, but their curent BM could eventually allow them to still provide this service at a nominal cost, with ATT making money out of it.

[The Michigan Telephone blog] Review of FreePBX 2.5 Powerful Telephony Solutions by Alex Robar ...: there may be a few added options and such, but for the most part they are not things that you would need to worry about, or that would detract from the accuracy of this book.  However, FreePBX 3.0 will be a major rewrite, but it’s only available in an early beta version, and unless you are an experimenter that wants to be on the bleeding edge, you don’t want it yet.  Whenever you do move to FreePBX version 3.0 ”” and I’d be very surprised if a full release version is much closer than a year away ”” much of what you’ve learned about FreePBX 2.5 and subsequent versions will still be applicable (and also, I suspect that people will be using FreePBX 2.x versions for quite some time to come).
