Internet Call Waiting

from the it's-about-time dept

I first heard about internet call waiting two years ago, when I read an article about it. However, I forgot where that article was (which listed a company who provided the service) and hopelessly searched for it for years. Now, apparently, it's finally starting to catch on. Soon, it should be available in the Bay Area. Of course, by now, most folks have a separate cable modem or DSL line, so who the hell cares, but it was a nice thought once.

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.

–The Techdirt Team
