What’s most interesting to me is how Jajah, Skype and others are becoming platforms for telephony features. Almost like an OS for voice. I think we’re going to see a lot more VoIP providers opening up their API in the future.

I don’t really understand what they’re going to be doing together – anyone?

I used to be a big fan of Jajah. Unfortunately, the unstable and often poor calls quality (noisy connections) has stopped me from using Jajah for business calls. And the noises got so bad that I now expect 30-40% of my Jajah calls to fail on first or second try when I make a call.

Mind you, when I hit on those “lucky” connections, the call quality has been excellent. But “I’m feeling lucky” is a Google slogan and shouldn’t be how I need to feel before I make a Jajah call.

Just my personal experience.

P.S. I used to share my personal Jajah experience (both good and bad) on my blog but I kinda got fed up with the call qualities and stopped even complaining.
