Call Dashboard
Squawk Box August 25 Conference call organized by Alec Saunders
Agenda
This morning we'll have Phweet's Stuart Henshall on the line to chat about their Twitter driven calling service. We'll talk about how it works, what their plans are for the future... and how they managed to defeat Aircell's ban on in-flight VoIP conversations.
See all
Hi Guys, somehow I could not attend it but I listened to complete recording. Here is clarification to some questions
Bye everyone!
Many people do, Stuart, with no problems
i used skype the full time...
Thanks for teaching me. :)
Thanks Alec

Thanks Stuart / Alec.
thanks good topic!
It's hard to apply analogies of existing paradigms like click to dial and speed dial to Phweet
it's a request to talk
Aswath Rao said:
rather putting myself in others' speed dial?
it
aswath.. it is a little like putting everyone on speed dial
Dan York said:
The swarm aspect is definitely interesting.
Aswath Rao said:
Phweet is closer to click to call rather than the usual initiating a call
true Aswath.
Aswath Rao said:
there is privacy but no annonimity because your twitter id is known to the host
We could let users supply an IAX2 address just like we let users put in a SIP address, if there is demand for that
No NAT issues because we ring to a working SIP address, so NAT had to be solved to make that SIP address work with that SIP acount/provider/software etc.
Could be a NAt traversal solution
The TringMe widget can do IAX2 as well as SIP. Does Phweet use this?
Aswath Rao said:
there is a std way to traverse NAT/FW with UDP traffic and not TCP; since Phweet is a TURN server they don't have that problem
Dan York said:
but we don't hear
my line has gone dead
Dan York said:
yes
is everyone still on the line?
William Volk said:
or voip on wifi
Dan York said:
Aswath, exactly. In good network connections, TCP and UDP should give similar performance. As the connection quality degrades, the TCP connection will have more latency as TCP deals with all the acknowledgements and retransmissions. The UDP connection will have packets simply dropped (resulting in degraded audio quality), but won't necessarily have latency added.
William Volk said:
so a voice backend module is needed for these apps
William Volk said:
Stuart, still thinking about a iPhone client?
Aswath Rao said:
If the connection is free of errors, then TCP latency will be same as that of UDP
no latency on my call at all
exactly Bill!
William Volk said:
Of course it doesn't interfere with navigation. A good % of mobile phones in flight aren't turned off.
How Stuart? (keep in mind I'm not a euro traveler)
all kinds of noise...why can't someone use mobile? makes no sense. I love that Andy!!! Fabulous!
they have fixed and addressed this in Euro trains already
William Volk said:
So, when will the stupid end? Crazy stuff.
ok...thanks Alec
Sheryl I think they issued that before
Didn't aircell issue a notification after this that stated that ALL voice calls are banned?
But it means we could use truphone...
Right Dan...we used Gizmo to access phweet.
Dan York said:
calling back in
Dan York said:
I'll answer.
Dan York said:
via "a" SIP phone. Any SIP endpoint will work.
Dan York said:
One other nice point is that Phweet can also accept calls via SIP phone.
morning Frank
