John,

That is correct – at least for now. I’d also say that from the corrections made it seems like AT&T is using Twilio internally to build their own services, which is around the same area of focusing on APIs for service creation.

Kavan,

I didn’t forget AddLive. I just mentioned the companies who already have dealings with the carriers. Voxeo and Twilio haven’t started that way as far as I know, but they are focusing in that market at the moment – and have deals in place.

TokBox was acquired by a carrier.

I know that AddLive is all about APIs, but I don’t know who your target market is and what is your business plan. I’d LOVE to do an interview with you guys to learn more about you and to share it with my readers here 🙂

Thanks for the interesting piece on WebRTC. We’re also quite interested in this space, but it’s still quite young. As of right now, Twilio’s SIP client is Audio-only, and while Voxeo might be on the standards committee, the implementation as it looks now might not be the final implementation (the WebRTC standard is still not finalized and it’s quite early into the release cycle of any software claiming interoperability).

That being said, the promise of WebRTC is so interesting that one would be foolish to ignore it. At 2600hz we’ve built infrastructure that allows heterogeneous endpoints to communicate using WebRTC, but we think more testing needs to be done before releasing it into the wild. The concepts here are lowering barriers to entry, increased ubiquity, and omnipresent communications.

We live in interesting times, to say the least.

Cheers,
Joshua
