VoIP by the pound, would you like fries with that?
I was wandering our normally classic office hallway and happened upon this enormous crate, 4 feet high and 5 feet long, 1800 lbs. I asked one of the engineers what was it, he said, "it’s VoIP". My god — I’ve discovered what others have sought for years, this must be it — the ultimate Ark […]
