Ideas create new ideas and new ideas make the world going on…
June 1st, 2007Could a blogger not be interested in Encyclocenter?
I very much doubt it.
An Encyclopedia is the place where you can find the world in articles.
If you click on Writing you will be able to read everything about The Grolier Club.
This, for example is my favorite.
I am very fond of graphic arts and this club’s objective is “the literary study and promotion of the arts pertaining to the production of books.”
The founder, Jean Grolier is a Renaissance Collector.
Could an Italian not be interested in him?
But this website is the collection of articles about almost everything, from Auto and trucks to Food, Humor, Religion, Women and Men, everything you can be interested in…
And if you lack ideas for your posts, this is a real treasure…

In the fight among sellers the one who earns is the buyer
June 1st, 2007There has never been a moment in which it is so unavoidable to use a credit card.
How can you buy online without one?
Or how can you carry with you as much cash as you would like to spend?
And there has never been a better moment to apply for a credit card.
Because there is a big fight to get customers and, of course, the winner is the one with the best offer.
So, the only thing you have to do is spending some time looking for the best bargain.

June 1st, 2007Vonage’s New Campaign
June 1st, 2007It just keeps getting better. Vonage customers recently received the following email from the company.
Dear Vonage Customer:
Vonage invites you to be among the first to join a new grassroots campaign aimed at preserving your right to choose your phone service. We’re launching a national movement – Free to Compete – because we believe marketplace competition is good, and we want consumers to have a choice. To learn the facts and find out how you can help preserve competition and your right to choose your phone service, please visit FreeToCompete.com.
Since the day we opened our doors, our mission has been to provide consumers with an alternative to the services offered by entrenched landline phone providers. In our five short years, we’ve gone head-to-head with many of these industry giants, and amassed 2.4 million customer lines with our innovative technology, cool features and value pricing.
You may have heard that Verizon® is suing us over patents they say we violated. Verizon has pursued litigation against Vonage in an effort to achieve in court what it cannot achieve in the marketplace. The suit could result in limiting competition and consumers’ freedom to choose a communications provider, which could ultimately drive up the cost of phone service. Vonage will continue fighting this attempt to limit your choice, while ensuring that you continue to receive the reliable, quality service you’ve come to expect.
As our customers, you are the most passionate and effective spokespeople we have. Let your voice be heard by visiting FreeToCompete.com where you can:
1. Send an email to Verizon telling them you support Vonage
as they defend your right to a better phone service
2. Sign our Petition
3. Learn the facts of the case
4. Spread the wordWe hope you’ll join us in taking up this important challenge by visiting FreeToCompete.com. Together, let’s move the battle for free competition and choice in the phone industry out of the courts and back into the marketplace!
And thank you for choosing Vonage.
Regards,
Jeffrey Citron
Chairman, Interim CEO and Chief Strategist
“Send an email to Verizon telling them you support Vonage as they defend your right to a better phone service.”
There’s an oxymoron if ever I heard one. the only reason they have any customers is because they are cheap, certainly not because they provide better service. When they realize they will have to pay the piper like the real phone companies they squeal like pigs.
I’m no big fan of Verizon, but I’m certain that they are enjoying this desperate and distasteful tactic by Vonage. For a company to invite it’s customer base to directly participate in it’s legal quarrels, regardless of who is right or wrong, is what I would characterize as bashing your competitors. Vonage needs to keep this in their conference rooms and in the courtroom, and far away from their customers.
I havent seen too many Vonage commercials since this came to light either. I wonder if it is court ordered not to run commercials…
That certainly would make sense. If there is the strong possibility they may go under they shouldn’t be allowed to take any more than they already have down with them.
Personally I suggest current Vonage customers…and ANYONE looking for a Vonage type service….consider other options.
Here’s 2 I highly recommend:

+353 Irish ENUM Registry opens today
June 1st, 2007Some things may take a while, some may take even longer. At March 22, 2006 (14 month ago) I posted: Irish-Austrian Consortium Provides ENUM Services in Ireland.
The Irish Commision for Communication Regulation (ComReg) announced today officially that an Irish-Austrian Consortium wins competition for the provision of ENUM services in Ireland.
December 19, 2006 I wondered what was going on and see, instantly they re-acted and immediately afterwards ENUM went into commercial service in Ireland:
IENUM, the Irish ENUM Registry opened service today. Some snippets from the news:
IENUM Limited, a 70% subsidiary of the IE Domain Registry (IEDR), today announced the availability of user ENUM (Electronic Numbering) services for telephone number holders in Ireland.
Ireland is now the seventh country to announce the availability of ENUM services. IENUM Limited was selected as the Tier 1 ENUM registry following the first international commercial tender process. The IEDR’s partner in the IENUM consortium is Internet Privatstiftung Austria (IPA), the Austrian organisation which operates the .at domain name and provided the first commercial ENUM registry service in the world.
ENUM domains can now be registered at www.my-enum.ie for Geographic telephone numbers (eg 01 or 045 etc), Mobile phone numbers, ‘076′ Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) numbers, and ‘0700′ Personal Number Service numbers. The cost of an ENUM domain is 1 euro per month plus a validation fee, currently 25 euro payable on first registration, and 5 euro on revalidation.
…..
ComReg’s Chairperson, Mike Byrne, said: ComReg is encouraged to see the emergence of ENUM as a full commercial service in Ireland today. ENUM has the potential to be a key enabler of advanced IP-based services. ComReg has been to the fore in encouraging the development of ENUM in Ireland and we are pleased to welcome the opening of IENUM’s service which we see as an innovative and potentially valuable new communications facility for Irish consumers.
BTW, next week I will be chairing the ENUM and VoIP Peering Forum 2007 in Berlin, and Mike Byrne will speak about ENUM from a Regulators Perspective. The two day conference will feature also other very interesting speakers:
Carsten Schiefner (DT, RIPE and Denic), Andrzej Bartosiewicz (NASK), John Horrocks (ETSI), Kim Fullbrook (O2 UK, GSMA), Robert Schischka (enum.at), Thomas de Haan (Ministry of Economic Affairs, NL), Chan-Ki Park (NIDA, Korea), Rodrigue Ullens (Voxbone), Xavier Casajoana (VozTelecom), Wilhelm Wimmreuter, Pieter Nooren (TNO, NL), Tony Holmes (BT, ENUM UK, ETSI), Ondrej Filip (CZ.NIC) and last, but not least Richard Shockey (Neustar, IETF ENUM).
On Monday afternoon, Adrian Georguescu (AG Projects) will lead a half-day interactive workshop on sucessfull business model for ENUM.
I will report about this event end of next week.
