Nice article from Global Telecoms Business (sponsored by BT) discussing what carriers must do to differentiate themselves and remain relevant.

72calls Using Ribbit To Bring Voice Mail To Websites

Friday, April 17th, 2009 | located in Applications, Articles and Media Mentions | No Comments »

Mirza Hatipovic has a new project (72 calls) getting ready to launch next month that uses Ribbit to enable end users to embed voice mail phones directly into their websites, blogs etc.

We are looking forward to the release and I think I will schedule an interview with him shortly thereafter as I am curious to find out where the name ‘72calls’ comes from. Wondering if it is a play on the call forwarding code, but will have to ask to be sure.

Good luck Mirza and keep us posted!
