When Vonage America president Michael Tribolet took the podium at the Internet Telephony Conference on Thursday, I wasn't expecting any grand pronouncements.

I think Tom Keating Works For Digium Always the first with the Asterisk/Digium scoops, pal Tom Keating have some more information about yesterdays Digium Polycom Partnership . According to Tom, Make no mistake, Digium and Fonality are competitors. With the new BuyNOW feature which I gave a heads-up on a few weeks ago and which launched officially at ITEXPO, Digium and Fonality are even more competitive with each other. The reason? The BuyNOW feature allows an AsteriskNOW user to purchase a Polycom IP phone specially designed to work with AsteriskNOW with a simple click of the mouse. Digium gets a cut of the revenue from the sale of this Polycom phone which goes through an exclusive partnership with NETXUSA, a VoIP distributor. Fonality also supports Polycom phone and they too have special firmware they load onto their Polycom phones, but they charge $40 to provision it where as Asterisk doesnt charge to provision the phone. This extra cost helps favor Asterisk/Digium in the battle with Fonality. Tom definitely has some excellent insight into this partnership and the always heated Digium/Fonality competition. View Toms entire post here . Not to be Outdone Alec Saunders caught an exclusive interview with Digium VP Bill Miller about Digiums recent announcements and their new partnership. This is an excellent interview. Click here to read the interview .
