Re: (Ooma) Voice Communications Exchange (VCXC) Don't get me wrong- I like the idea of going all IP. The problem I see with this particular initiative is that it is led by one person who is very likely making a huge profit from this "non-profit" initiative, and the price tag on participating in the discussion (and later implementation if it ever comes) is so high it is prohibitive to most companies. |

Bingo!
If they were truly interested in having broader representation, they would not want to charge the same membership fee to all size companies.
Other industry initiatives do NOT work this way.
For example, MANY industry groups charge annual dues based on the number of employees that a company has.

What's the attraction with Daniel Berninger
His own resume does not list anything new since Free World Dialup, and it's not clear if he ever finished his doctoral dissertation from the 1990's.

I am sure he is a fine fellow, but I never liked that TV show, "The Six Million Dollar Man".
----------------------------------
THIS Berninger/Pulver project looks to be dead in the water since 2010. Under "devices" it lists just 3 phones as the latest and greatest, including the outdated Gigaset A580IP !!

This brings back an age old question ... how the heck does Ooma do it? Ooma's finances never made sense, but they can afford $10,000 a month to be part of this initiative? What do member companies, or particularly, Ooma get out of it??

kudos:1 | If this type of initiative works, these companies will benefit from much lower costs of doing business. They will also benefit from being in a much less regulated business as well. |
