VoIP developments in a July 2006 roundup
This July 2006 roundup grouped several small announcements from a market still testing where internet voice would fit: inside global companies, on websites, in public access venues and on city wireless networks.
Enterprise and developer tools
Rolls-Royce was reported to have selected Nortel for managed global voice services. PeerMe introduced a developer interface for adding click-to-call elements to websites, while TerraSip described a system intended to let internet cafés offer VoIP from shared workstations.
Public-network experiments
Taipei was preparing a wireless voice service on its WiFly WLAN network, and Skype promoted free weekend calling in the United States and Canada. These were separate announcements rather than evidence that any one approach had become the market standard.
