VoIP podcast with Om Malik

I use voice over Internet Protocol (IP) applications such as Skype and Gizmo Project but I don’t follow industry developments in the same detail as Om Malik and his broadband blog. Om and I tried out the podcasting abilities of Gizmo Project tonight with a 19 minute discussion of the current state of voice over IP (voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)). We talk about some of the industry basics, news of the week, and where the industry as a whole is headed.
