I don't know about Twilio (and I have not read the linked article yet), but Magic Jack will kill AT&T's old business of landlines for sure. I switched mine to their newer no-computer-required device and cancelled my land line in few days. I was paying $50 per month for unlimited versus $30 per year unlimited. How in the world could you compete with that? But I bet AT&T does not care at this point about old fashioned landlines for their residential customers.
- JumpCrisscross 15y agoThis still ignores the fact that Twilio or MagicJack or I'm On Crack all run on a physical backbone. You can't connect to the internet through the cloud - not sober, anyways. There is a difference between Twilio, a telephony retailer, and AT&T, a telephony retailer an distributor. These services may hack you away from the retail arms of the telcos' retail arms, but it does nothing against the distribution businesses.
- webwanderings 15y agoThanks for your comment, you at least didn't down-voted without adding your take. I don't really know how Magic Jack or crack jack, work. I was just merely sharing the difference and how AT&T could have a leaking hole in their boat and not even know about it.
