Phone.com – More than a pretty Domain Name!
Posted by Chief Editor , Saturday, 01 March 2008
Branding these days is everything, or just about everything. This is why the investors behind Phone.com LLC, a new provider of virtual PBX and voice over Internet services, were willing to pay big bucks for the coveted domain name. The firm is billing itself as The New Phone.Company. Cute.Luckily for small business owners, there’s more to Phone.com’s Virtual Office than a catchy slogan and easy-to-remember Web address. Built from the ground up and managed by a group of seasoned VoIP veterans, Virtual Office should give established players in this space ,such as RingCentral, Innoport from Intellicom Inc. and GotVMail, a run for their money.

The withdrawal of an order by a federal judge that led to the shutting down of the wikileaks.org website is by far the biggest story of the last few days. Originally the judge signed an order requiring the registrar Dynadot to disable the wikileaks.org domain name.
In making his decision, “United States District Judge Jeffrey S. White appeared at times visibly frustrated that technology might have outrun the law and that, as a result, the court might not be able to rein in information disclosed online,” reported the New York Times.
“We live in an age when people can do some good things and people can do some terrible things without accountability necessarily in a court of law,” Judge White said.
