I am seeing a lot of, “I hate Verizon.” Comments, you guys don’t know a lot about the telecom industry and AT&T’s rise and failure.
Look up the Baby Bells and the crack down on AT&T. Listen to a couple of security podcasts and learn about AT&T charging users 700 dollars and instead of looking into the bill mishap they were blaming the users.
Listen to the issues T-Mobile has with security.
Is Verizon better in every way? No. Is every other company better because Verizon is better. Also, no.
I find it pretty funny because I’m relatively informed on corporate voice conferencing as an employee and never even heard of blue jeans. I don’t think this ever even had a chance.
They all arbitrarily raise prices. The most recent lawsuit with AT&T was a 2 dollar increase to customers bills that they got sued for and lost. What was the resolution? They paid far less than they made.
FiOS has been my favorite ISP because it’s just a hole in the wall the internet comes out of, and I can use my own hardware and they don’t seem to care if I run a server.
Ah one of those endeavours where an executive thought “well, it can’t be that hard. We will do it better and cheaper and reap the profits”. Just to be hit with reality.
Have worked with many entrepreneurs. That is exactly how sone of them think. No respect for other‘s inventions, everything must be done right away and nobody is smarter than them.
But the difference is that zoom was usable. I used blue jeans like twice early in the pandemic, and it was just an annoyance to use at the best of times. Can't imagine what it would have been like to actually have to use that day to day...
To add to your point, I originally used GoToMeeting for my business, but had to switch to Zoom because everyone knew how to use it because of the pandemic.
Wasn't the CEO of Zoom a high level engineer for Cisco? I believe it was one of those situations where the executives weren't listening to where he thought the WebEx platform should focus on development and he thought "Fuck it, I'll do it myself"
Lol no sarcasm on my side. I was speaking from past experience with Skype. It didn’t handle having multiple people in a group call for a low-frequency radio show I was the engineer on years ago. We randomly had issues with it, but maybe that was limited to the Mac version.
