Have you wanted to use a VoIP softphone from your iPhone or iPad? Sure, Skype is available, but what if you want to use a softphone that works with SIP and can connect to a corporate IP-PBX?

The whole subject of “billing” is probably, for the majority of us, one of the least exciting and least sexy parts of the entire communications infrastructure. Yet it is probably one of the most *critical* aspects as that is how, ultimately, we all keep the lights on.

In this episode, host Dan York speaks with Jim Dalton, CEO of Transnexus ( http://www.transnexus.com/ ) and one of the leading proponents of the Open Settlement Protocol (OSP), an open standard for service providers and enterprises to exchange billing information among themselves. Jim gave a presentation at IT EXPO East 2009 in Miami and Dan caught up with him after the talk to ask him some questions. More information about OSP can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_settlement_protocol or http://www.etsi.org/

UPDATE: The white paper upon which Jim based his ITEXPO presentation is available online: “Peer to Peer Settlement for Next Generation IP Networks”

What are the different types of tools out there for developers of voice/communications applications? What choices do developers have? And where does Voxeo’s recent acquisition of VoiceObjects fit within the range of tools?

In this episode, host Dan York talks about the “three pools of tools” for developers of voice applications and the options that developers have available when considering how to build a voice application.

Is “VoIP” dead? As we start 2009, this theme of VoIP being “dead” is percolating throughout the VoIP/communications part of the blogosphere. Alec Saunders says it is (and said so again). Om Malik concurred with Alec. So does PhoneBoy. Jon Arnold says “it’s not dead yet“. Andy Abramson agrees with Jon. Ken Camp says VoIP is just boring. Jeff Pulver says VoIP is very much alive (and later amplifies that statement). And a zillion others have joined in as well…

In this episode, host Dan York looks at the truth – and fallacy – of the statements being made and provides his view that in many ways the whole theme is rather silly until…… (sorry, you have to watch! )

What is your personal plan for communication during a natural disaster? (such as the ice storm that hit northern New England last week) If the regular telephone communications infrastructure is not available, how could you call people outside your area? How could you receive calls? Where can VoIP play a role in this?

In this episode, Dan York talks about these issues and his own ways of reaching out to people and having people hopefully reach him.
