Yet More VoIP Acronyms: FoIP - Fax over IP
8x8, Inc., launched their new fax over IP service (aka FoIP) today. [via Sys-Con]
They are not, however, the first company with fax support over IP.
Other companies already offer support in their IP telephony routers.
Companies like Tiger NetCom have VoIP adapters which will support fax.
Atreus Receives IP Telephony Award
Internet Telephony magazine awarded Atreus Systems their 2006 TMC Labs Innovation Award. [via Sys-Con]
New VoIP Services: ROK Viper
ROK Entertainment Group is offering ROK Viper, which they claim is the world's first free no-contract mobile-to-mobile VoIP application
[The Engineer Online]. Though the service seems kind of limited as it
apparently connects from a mobile phone via Bluetooth to a computer
with broadband Internet access. Doesn't seem particularly mobile to me.
ROK apparently also created technology for the first mass-produced mobile TV.
Skype Available In More Than 27 Languages
While Skype is officially only available in 27 languages, there are actually translations for Thai and several European languages.The translation work has been done by members of the Skype community.
