"For this week’s Engadget Interview, veteran journalist J.D. Lasica spoke with SIPphone Inc. CEO Michael Robertson about his startup company’s battle against Skype (which was purchased by eBay earlier today), the Gizmo Project, open standards, and the coming era of always-on, always-connected voice communication.
