Three years running now, I’ve taken family trips to Grand Cayman. As you can imagine, it’s hard for me to “shut off” work while on vacation, especially since we’re selling the tools to help people work anywhere, anytime!

As I sipped mojitos last week (while watching my three children chase iguanas), I couldn’t help but smile as my in-laws passed my iPhone around to one another making calls to US phone numbers for 2.9 cents per minute using none of my outrageously priced international cell phone minutes. Instead, they were using my OnSIP account, the hotel WiFi and a superb software client on the iPhone, Bria.

As Rob Wolpov, President of Junction Networks, stated in today's press release, “Many of our customers are already committed to the future of Internet communications and are already accepting calls directly from SIP users over the Internet. We do it too. If you want to reach us, you don’t need a phone number. You can call sip:welcome@junctionnetworks.com.”

This past week President Obama made some candid remarks about the not-so-modern tech in the Oval Office at a fundraiser in Chicago.

“The Oval Office, I always thought I was going to have really cool phones and stuff. I'm like, c'mon guys, I'm the president of the United States. Where's the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up? It doesn't happen."

According to this article, Obama was responding to a question pertaining to bottlenecks in technological innovation, and was using his Oval Office phone as an off-the-cuff example. In President Obama’s example, the ‘bottleneck’ is likely security; that is, security requirements hinder the advancement of communications equipment in his office.

"I would rather not see you at this next meeting. No offense."
