Tom Evslin: FWD on Facebook Because No Network Should Be An Island

Tom Evslin: FWD on Facebook Because No Network Should Be An Island

"At FWD we believe that real-time Internet-based communication including voice is ready to move from islands of service – think of Skype and Facebook as big islands – to universal connectivity. We think that off-island service will be as free of incremental costs as on-island service is today. This Internet-based communication – unlike today’s islands of VoIP service – is a much more capable replacement for, not an evolution of, the current tolled phone service.

FWD’s role is to be the service ENABLER for this communication, not the service PROVIDER. We don’t think of FWD as a network (although it technically is) but as a bridge between networks, social and otherwise. Stay tuned."
