Three additional start-ups will be joining the demos at the WebRTC pre-conference at the IMS World Forum, Barcelona, 23-25 April 2013. Note the focus of the demos is start-ups sharing their experiences in implementing services with WebRTC straight from the developers, not established vendors promoting their equipment and filtered through marketing. apidaze.io is a cloud communications API […]

Drum is designed so that it can be used not just for business meetings and presentations, but for other tasks such as project updates, […]

In these articles from 2008 and […]

I recently read “WebRTC, APIs and RTCWEB Protocols of the HTML5 Real-Time Web by Alan Johnston and Daniel Burnett.” It provides an excellent review of the current status of the standard covering: An overview of Web Real-Time Communications; How to use WebRTC; An explanation of WebRTC Peer-Peer Media; W3C WebRTC documents and protocols; IETF WebRTC […]
The conference agenda and slides can be downloaded here.

But that means CIM is wholly dependent on RCS, which has the dumb dependency of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), which is […]
The SDP (Service Delivery Platform) Global Summit 2012 takes place in Rome from the 11th-14th September. On Tuesday the 11th September is the API focus day.
