Re: [DDN] VOIP for nonprofits
Thanks for the feedback Dan and Jim. Unfortunatly the 'bad news' as Dan described is a deal killer for the non-profit I work for now. They live on the phone and do A LOT of community outreach to volunteer tutors. Lossing ANY call could be very bad for our group. I'm going to continue to stay on top of this tech though. These problems will be solved soon I think. -Brian Brian; I would concur with caveats. I'm currently using VOIP for my fledging home-based business and would agree that you will save (in the long-run). I was fortunate to already have the basic equipment (router and cabling) and the broadband service (DSL). Switching in my case seemed like a no brainer. The good news is that my LD expenses were hoving close to $300.00 a month. My first real telephone bill is now less than $100.00. Now for the bad news. The real costs, in terms of lost of service, service degredation, and just plain service headaches have been huge. Even now, my wife is not convinced that we made a wise choice and is demanding that we switch back. I promised to do so, if we're still having issues by the next billing period. I won't go into all the issues, but when all the technical stars are aligned and sun spots are not flaring, everything works like a charm. By charm, I mean, you are not even aware that you are not using a traditional POTS line. Unfortunately, the first billing period was marked with only about a 40 percent charm time. In other words, we had issues with six out of every 10 calls. I will admint, however, that the quality of service has started to rise dramatically toward the end to the period. In short, I'm not sure that VOIP is quite ready for prime time, but I'm still impressed with the technogy and the potential savings. You might want to take a look at the Broadband Reports site, http://www.broadbandreports.com, to get other opinions on the technology and service. There is a link to Voice over IP in the user forum that might provide additional insight. Cheers; -Dan On 8/10/05, Jim Vines [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Brian: Generally you can expect VoIP to be cost effective. I could come right out and say yes it is, but I'd feel better if you would fax a copy of ALL pages from a recent phone bill. (I'll get the fax # for the local Kinko's so you can send.) The other issue is the vendor's infrastructural support. Since there are so many me-too vendors, it is imperative to know what kind of infrastructural support they provide - so you get a dialtone immediately and so that the voice quality both ways is clear. Using the VoIP service that I now sell, I call the Philippines and Nigeria with superior connection quality. Calls to cellphones overseas are still somewhat garbled as there appears to be a latency problem on the other end. However, as broadband access becomes widespread even in Third World countries, then VoIP2VoIP calling will yield excellent connections either way. I am currently arranging a meeting between a longtime Nigerian colleague and his associates in a telco venture back home and top management of a leading VoIP provider here in the USA. This company is presently deploying 4,000 VoIP adapters in businesses in Dubai. With this compamy's VoIP equipment, VoIP2VoIP calling is free worldwide, regardless which party calls whom. Here, my VoIP line costs $24.99 ($29.99 shortly as E911 is added). That includes unlimited calling across the USA and Canada. Another thing that I like: Audio from the other end is an estimated 6 to 12 dB louder than with POTS. Not to mention clearer. It's even clearer going VoIP2VoIP. My VoIP # is 708-279-4329. I'll get back to you if you leave a message. (This # as well as two computers are connceted to a router, and the router is connected to the cable modem. Next I'll connect a hub, and have two VoIP lines connected to it. We will kiss POTS good-bye.) I'm also cc-ing to my colleague and retired 33 year Bell System veteran.

RE: [Fwd: RE: [DDN] details: podcasting/videoblogging workshop inAccra]
Andy All, Could we list the requirements we have for an Open Source Mobcasting tool? After investigating this a bit the real challenges turn out to be a finding a reliable voice server that provides a VoiceXML interpreter/browser. Any mobloging project like this is at the whim of said service. Ex. TellMe, BeVocal, Voxeo, or HeyAnita TellMe provides free developer accounts. But once a service becomes popular it doesn't scale well. Meaning a lot of people can't use it at once. Basically we need the $ to find a host for the voice server that will work with this project over a good amount of time. (or find one to donate their services) BTW... An Open Source (GPL) Mobloging project I found recently is called PhoneBlogger. http://www.wombatnation.com/phoneblogger/ -Brian Hi Xavier, It seems audioblogger has had several problems in recent months; among other things, they apparently changed their phone number, so you may want to doublecheck and see if you're using the right one. Other times I've seen it take as long as 12 hours for a post to appear on a blog. That's why I generally use audlink.com to post mobile podcasts on my blog - check out www.andycarvin.com and see some that I posted en route to Ghana. This is why I really want to mobilize a small group of programmers to create an open source mobcasting tool - so anyone can install similar software on a server and make telephone-based podcasting recording (and listening) available via a local telephone call. I'm meeting with several folks here in Ghana to discuss this further; it'll be interesting to see what the local reaction will be. andy live from busyinternet.com, my Accra HQ -- --- Andy Carvin Program Director EDC Center for Media Community acarvin @ edc . org http://www.digitaldivide.net http://www.tsunami-info.org Blog: http://www.andycarvin.com --- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Xavier Leonard Sent: Sun 7/17/2005 5:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Fwd: RE: [DDN] details: podcasting/videoblogging workshop inAccra] Andy-- I spoke with you earlier about our efforts to integrate audioblogging with podcasting.

Re: [DDN] New: CTCNet Conference News Aggregator
Brilliant Andy! -Brian Great idea, Dan... I've just set up a new feature story on DDN that is automatically aggregating blog entries about CTCNet: http://www.digitaldivide.net/articles/view.php?ArticleID=447 How I did it: I went to the blog search engine technorati.com and searched for the term CTCNet. This generated a list of all blog entries featuring that word. The search results generated an RSS feed containing all the latest results; I then went to RSSDigest (http://www.bigbold.com/rssdigest/) and set up a free java script that creates a website-friendly digest of the search results. Last, I created a new feature story on DDN and pasted the java script onto the page. Instant CTCNet news digest. So, for those of you who will blog about CTCNet, be sure to mention the word CTCNet in each entry so Technorati will pick up your blog and add it to the digest. You may also want to go to Technorati.com and submit your RSS feed to it, to ensure that they're receiving your blog. ac Will there be one section of the DDN web site where people attending the conference can blog and exchange ideas with people who will not be attending, but who might connect on-line?

I simply never imagined that any CPB chairman, Democrat or Republican, would cross the line from resisting White House pressure to carrying it out for the White House, Moyers told a packed room at the National Conference for Media Reform. And that's what Kenneth Tomlinson has been doing. You can now watch or listen to Moyers' entire speech on the Free Press Web site: An audio recording can be downloaded at: www.freepress.net/conference/audio05/moyers.mp3 http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=15356248url_num=2url=h ttp://www.freepress.net/conference/audio05/moyers.mp3 Or you can watch the video at: www.freepress.net/conference/audio05/freepress-closing40515.mov http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=15356248url_num=3url=h ttp://www.freepress.net/conference/audio05/freepress-closing40515.mov Transcript online (as soon as it's available) at www.freepress.net/conference http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=15356248url_num=4url=h ttp://www.freepress.net/conference . In his first public statement since the controversy at PBS emerged, Moyers endorsed a call by media reform groups for a series of town hall meetings nationwide so that Americans can speak directly to station managers and policymakers about what they want and expect from public broadcasting. More than 50,000 Americans have already signed the Free Press petition calling on Kenneth Tomlinson to resign and demanding that the public be put back into PBS.

That great mob that is democracy is rarely heard, and that's not just the fault of the current residents of the White House and Capitol, Moyers said. There is a great chasm between those of us in the business and those who depend on TV and radio as their window to the world. We treat them too much like audiences and not enough like citizens. They are invited to look through the window, but too infrequently to participate and make public broadcasting public.

Is there one? Like I mentioned in a previous message, we intend to transcribe DDN podcasts. But I would imagine that we'd be in the minority for doing that, as most amateur podcasters are focused on exploring new multimedia casting technologies rather than thinking about equity issues. Surprisingly, I don't see transcripts for WGBH's Morning Stories podcast, which I would have expected given WGBH's accessibility work. It might be because this is such a new medium that people just aren't considering the accessibility implications yet. Of course, if you podcast video rather than audio, it's not very difficult to caption them... ac Grant W.
