WSJ: Internet-Phone Market Gets Crowded (Page One)
This morning, the Wall Street Journal has a page one story written by Shawn Young which covers the current state of the voice over broadband industry and provides for a really good read.
I spoke with Shawn at length when this story was being researched. While this specific article has been a work-in-process for much of the summer, it is up-to-date with regard to the companies, issues and information covered.
"If all we're doing is driving down price, we lose," says Jeff Pulver, an industry pioneer and promoter who helped start Vonage. He has since moved on to other projects including pulvermedia, which organizes trade shows, and an Internet-based calling service called Free World Dialup intended to help promote the industry.

"has since moved on to..."?! Jeff, Vonage wasn't even the proverbial gleam-in-its-father's-eye when you started doing trade shows or when you took your first whack at Free World Dialup!
Nice to be mentioned in the WSJ, to be sure, but that is one of the last places one expects to find sloppy reporting. Alas...

The story also ran in today's (Toronto) Globe and Mail Report on Business which publishes WSJ stories under a syndication arrangement. As a nationally published news paper it gets the story out to a very broad Canadian resdership as well.
