One question that might come to mind is, if Mobicents exists, why would Ernie?

Well, I found this excellent post quoting the leader (Ivelin Ivanov) of Mobicents.org. For those of you who don’t follow it, mobicents is an open source implementation of a JSLEE platform. From their site:
Mobicents is the first and only Open Source VoIP Platform certified for JSLEE 1.0 compliance. Mobicents brings to telecom applications a [...]

Sometimes speaking is easier than writing - Adam Uzelac interviewed me for his podcast. I’ve tried to put down some of where I think Ernie is going - have a listen.

More examples of great applications that Ernie could enable, and supporting Adam’s thoughts, this time described by Om Malik. The future will certainly contain multi-player games.

Jon’s looking for those applications too… from his blog:

From an e-mail conversation with Adam Uzelac, a whole host of potential Ernie applications… Not fully baked, but very exciting…

A note to all of you out there: here’s a pretty interesting site looking to rank the VoIP providers in the world, based on price. What’s even more interesting is the criteria they use for ranking : price. Hmmmm…. Alec is right. We are acting like a commodity market.
