I appreciated your comments…’If you strip away the hype (meaningless blather such as the company’s claim of being Silicon Valley’s first phone company)’ because while I believe that Ribbit’s timing and messaging is very good, they are hardly first to market in this space. Rather they are first to market with such a powerful PR machine (and some nice marketing work behind the scenes). That is not to discount what they are doing, rather to highlight that there are other companies in the space - Jaduka and Ifbyphone to name a couple. Jaduka is probably closest to the Ribbit’s approach, although their parent actually runs an IP network.

Ifbyphone on the other hand has built much of what it appears Ribbit has built but has chosen a more packaged approach to the market. A developer network is a nice idea for accessing early adopters but to attract a more mature buyer, a voice to web service needs to be packaged and supported in such a way that the masses will buy it.

I’m skeptical that Ribbit will find a long-term following. Most app developer’s worth their salt will find they don’t need a third-party platform, especially if that platform will take 5-15% of their revenue. For example, Broadsoft and Cisco both have already developed a SalesForce.com connector for their enterprise VoIP systems. More on my blog at (link)
