At DoubleHorn Communications, DHC to us insiders, we truly believe it means any application that provides a life or economic enrichment to the small business community while traversing a broadband medium - regardless of the end device.
With the adoption of the IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) architectural standard in the United States and its explosion in the EU, every productive business and social application, and some yet to be developed, will be traversing an IP based broadband medium. Way before we have electric SUV's that can pull a boat to the local lake.
The adoption of IMS by Rural LEC's, Competitive LEC's, or Incumbent LEC's in the United States could be seen as slow by many and heel dragging by others is happening. The same carriers that hold training session for their sales representatives titled, How to sell around SIP based service providers, are utilizing SIP based interconnects to deliver their intra-lata and International calls. Then turn around and wholesale those same voice termination services to those SIP based service providers that they are selling against. Those huge, or should we say Grande here in Texas, service providers know where service delivery is headed. Is is not moving towards their legacy and expensive hardware based equipment. It is headed XoIP and it is via software based server farms in the cloud. Ask Nortel - hurry while there is still someone to ask.
So this begs us to ask. What tweener these days actually communicate with a device that first provides dial tone? Or better yet, is dial tone even necessary for the next generation of decision makers? Think of how we are communicating these days in the small business environment. Email, Social Networking, Internet Marketing, SMS - texting, Twitter, Facebook, Digital Video Conferencing, and even this blog utilizes XoIP.
Believe us - here at DHC we are the leading, not bleeding, edge of the XoIP Revolution and we are committed to bring those applications to the small business community. The same community that is the backbone of our economy. We are Texas owned, Texas operated, and Texas focused.
XoIP - would you pronounce it as zoy-ip? Let's not go there...
