Voice Over Powerlines?
from the hello-static... dept
Tiny LecStar Telecom, who was recently bought out by a struggling voice recognition company for no clear reason, has now decided to try offering a voice over powerlines service. Basically, they're offering VoIP on top of a powerline broadband service. Of course, given the history of problems broadband over powerlines has had, maybe they should make sure that the broadband part actually works before dumping a VoIP service on top of it as well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
