What is your personal plan for communication during a natural disaster? (such as the ice storm that hit northern New England last week) If the regular telephone communications infrastructure is not available, how could you call people outside your area? How could you receive calls? Where can VoIP play a role in this?
In this episode, Dan York talks about these issues and his own ways of reaching out to people and having people hopefully reach him.

Building high-performance VoIP Clusters using Asterisk (Open Source).
In this video, I answer a question from FishTWiT regarding the effect of google voice will have on the telecoms. Google purchased Grand Central which has a lot of features that has one number that forwards to many phones, visual voicemail, and rich filters to route calls based on where calls are coming from. Google voice added SMS, and voicemail transcribing. Yes I think Google voice will have an affect on telecoms. They are positioning themselves to take over the world of telecom. I talk about it more in the video, thanks to FishTWiT for the question.
