A recent report by the Leichtman Research Group looks at overall historic broadband penetration rates. In looking at the results I immediately asked the question if we have topped out with US broadband penetration rates.The study shows that 82% of homes now have a home broadband connection. Another 2% of homes get an internet connection from other sources like dial-up or satellite, meaning that the overall number of households with some kind of home broadband connection is 84%.But compare that to 2012. In that year 76% of homes had a home broadband connection while 7% got broadband in some other...

AT&T and several other companies, last week petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn Obama-era internet regulatory rules. Here we go again, again. AT&T’s continuing fight to repeal net-neutrality shares so much in common with the GOP healthcare bill that they may as well start being packaged together. Both of them keep getting shot down, but like any grade-B horror movie-icon from the 1980’s, they keep returning in increasingly more stupid forms as shitty sequels to an already terrible premise. The head of the FCC, Ajit Pai, appears to be struggling to find a way to justify his existence to the people who matter most:...

Cloud phone service has been around for about two decades now but many people think of it as merely a technology that is meant to place phone calls over the internet. Due to these misconceptions, cloud service has been always been characterized with low and bad performance due to its low cost.

Posted by Daniel Noworatzky on Mar 29, 2017 3:40:00 PM The most recent FCC Voice Telephone Services report, published in November 2016, states that two thirds of businesses in the United States are still using switched access telephone lines (PSTN or POTS). The reasons they haven’t yet migrated to VoIP (voice over internet protocol) are varied. One of the most prevalent myths about VoIP is that the quality is not as good or reliable as that of traditional telephone lines. The truth, however, is that VoIP technology has evolved to a point where the audio quality is generally as good if...
