Fido offering combines GSM and VoIP
May 13, 2008
Fido has announced the launch of UNO, a new service that connects calls from a specially-enabled handset to a high-speed Internet connection when users are at home, as well as through the Fido wireless network when they are on the go. Customers use the same handset inside and outside the home, which offers the convenience of having one phone number, one voicemail, one address book and one bill. Customers can also talk as much as they want on their Fido phone while at home without using up their wireless plan minutes. A Fido voice-optimizing wireless router, which can be connected to an existing Internet connection, enhances wireless call clarity and reception inside the home network. Fido UNO is available on the Nokia 6301 handset, which retails for $50 on a three-year plan. Service plans are priced at $15/month (unlimited local calling) or $20/month (unlimited local and Canadian long distance) for wireless calling at home, in addition to the regular wireless voice plan. Existing customers can add the service to a current voice plan with the purchase of a UNO-enabled handset and receive the voice-optimizing wireless router free of charge.

Jacksch gets Smug
May 4, 2008
A month or so ago I was doing research for an upcoming Monitor article on photo editing — more precisely on what to do with your photos after you finish editing them. Â I ran across a photo sharing site call SmugMug that simply blew me away. Â Unlike their competition, SmugMug is about photos, not advertising. Â Their CEO put it well when he said, “We make your photos look better!”
I’ve started migrating my photos other there, and in a few weeks you’ll be able to order prints of some of my work. Â Stay tuned!
