VUC: IP Communications Community

UberConference brings a new dimension to audio conference calls. From any computer, anyone in the call can see the names, photos, and other information of the others in the call. The display shows the current speaker, and the organizer has a number of helpful tools to keep the conference running smoothly. They can record calls, mute participants to get rid of background noise or put "earmuffs" on people they may not want to hear part of the conversation. Craig Walker, CEO of UberConference, was founder and CEO of Grand Central (now Google Voice) and prior to that, CEO of Dialpad (now Yahoo! Voice).

This week, iotum COO Noam Tomczak joins us to talk about its flagship Calliflower conferencing service. Called Calliflower Connect, the WebRTC-enabled native SIP client enables users to call directly into Calliflower meetings through their Google Chrome or Firefox browsers, doing away with accessing conferences via 3rd party applications like Skype, which recently disclosed discontinuation of its desktop APIs.

According to our guest, Michael Elling, few people appreciate that the internet really had its origins and scaled due to flat-rate dial-up from the mid to late 1980s, which is why the US had such an economic foundational head-start 10 years ahead of the rest of the world wrt â??the internetâ??.
