How Badly Does Microsoft Want To Control The Triple Play?
from the anyway-possible... dept
Think Microsoft is serious about trying to shove their software into every possible aspect of the backend for various triple play services? Just as stories are coming out about how dreadful their IPTV software is, the news comes out that Microsoft wants to power business-level VoIP offerings with AT&T. Beyond the jokes about your TV and phone getting the blue (er... red) screen of death, again it seems a bit odd that companies would believe Microsoft has very much competence in these areas.
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.
