Adding Value to Your Business

If you are just starting out or have been in the game for a long time, you will at one point need to look into getting internet phone services or some sort of VoIP. Other than the fact that this great service can save you a lot of time and make your business more efficient, it can also add tremendous value to it. You will be able to grow and expand your business. VoIP is a data application, and doesn’t require a physical telecom network to support your business. As Vonage learned in the consumer world, this is practically impossible, and short of inheriting a customer base via acquisition, your most important competency is developing a viable route to market. Developing and providing VoIP service is actually the easy part – the real trick is getting customers without going broke, and providing a quality service to keep those customers.

Will the Internet Fix Everything?

I hope that you know the answer to that question even before you started reading this post. With the spread of the internet and communication services, it is hard to miss the direct effect it has had on our lives and held the answers to many of problems and issues. It is a dangerous road to keep going down because we cannot rely on the internet and digital solutions for every single problem in our lives. The internet and technology is designed so that it is efficient and the user does not get distracted by the technology that they are using. This idea leads to the current reality of personal information being used by browsers and other websites. It this a good thing? My fear is that many institutions will eventually alter how they treat people who refuse to self-track. There are all sorts of political and moral implications here, and I'm not sure that we have grappled with any of them. What are your opinions on it?
