OStatic

Recognized as one of the most influential voices in the voice-over-IP (VoIP) arena, Thomas Howe is the CEO of Jaduka. The company's APIs incorporate common Internet building blocks, making it easy to integrate telephony services with any HTML-based application on any operating system. Jaduka's APIs facilitate many of the voice mashups appearing on the web--applications where voice services, data and applications create new services. Howe won VON Magazine's Innovator's Award for 2008. We asked him for a guest column here on OStatic, on the role open source is playing in telephony applications and voice mashups.
