Avaya, 3Com embrace IP telephony [IDG InfoWorld]
Abstract: More players are jumping into the IP telephony market, or expanding their existing services.
Analysis: More options in the market drives competition, leading to more services and lower prices.
Commentary: I look forward to having a server in the basement that is running my IP based telephony system. Less wiring to run, and I can do it when I first build my home. With existing systems you can have common phone lists, so no more scrambling for the address book when you want to contact someone. Combine a UPS and a generator and you'll have the system weatherproofed.

Pirate TV is hitting Iran, hard. [NY Times registration required]
Abstract: Zia Atabay wanted to provide Farsi language entertainment to the four million Farsi speakers who are living outside of Iran. so he started broadcasting via satellite. He soon found out that people in Iran could see his signal. Then the Iranian government started jamming his signal. Now he's pissed, politicized, and running out of money.
Commentary: Freedom of expression is key. Free expression is not the same thing. Meditate on that.
It would be great if someone would step in and support this effort, as the costs are mounting, but anyone who did would likely end up on a hit list. This is a fantastic way of winning over hearts and minds, and it is difficult to stop. I hope someone steps in and helps him out.
