The traditional telco business model is badly outdated. I am glad to see Ooma is making VOIP more accessible by using your standard phone.</p>Jim WorrellMon, 26 Nov 2007 15:26:47 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/07/18/ooma-hopes-to-make-a-boom-with-free-land-line-calling-service/#comment-14676748<p>Hot off the press. Just found this on <a href="http://home.businesswire.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="home.businesswire.com">home.businesswire.com</a>:</p><p>August 9, OOMA announces Pre-sales. The announcement includes the following three statements:</p><p>1. "This announcement contains forward-looking statements ... Actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations."</p><p>2. "Purchasers during the promotional period will have this no monthly charge service for at least three years."</p><p>3. "ooma reserves the right to change or modify its offering including limiting the unlimited U.S. domestic calling to an initial set of customers."</p><p>You can interpret these anyway you want, but to me they mean:</p><p>1. OOMA is making wild claims and, if they don’t work, don’t blame us. <br>2. "Free service for life" is only guaranteed to be 3 years. <br>3. Later subscribers won’t get free service.</p><p>Anybody willing to bet $400 on those terms?</p>Mike PThu, 09 Aug 2007 17:58:59 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/07/18/ooma-hopes-to-make-a-boom-with-free-land-line-calling-service/#comment-14676747<p>Sorry, but all available info about OOMA indicates to me that it is a technical impossibility. Phone lines don't work the way that OOMA is claiming, and they can't change that. The business model (free for "life") is also an impossibility!</p>Mike PThu, 09 Aug 2007 16:01:43 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/07/18/ooma-hopes-to-make-a-boom-with-free-land-line-calling-service/#comment-14676746<p>Ooma Box, Looks like the product consumer still waiting from the invention of the telephone itself!!!!<br>It's open the gate for many new iniciatives to make a Global comunication for free a reality!!!</p><p>Marc</p>MarcThu, 02 Aug 2007 11:39:18 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/07/18/ooma-hopes-to-make-a-boom-with-free-land-line-calling-service/#comment-14676745<p>Looks like I am #3 to respond here. Do I get a free OOMA to ma? If so I will place a gratuitous Link on my website.</p><p>Thank you <br>xie xie ni</p>Greg MMon, 30 Jul 2007 15:21:06 -0000
