IBM spun out their foundries to Global Foundaries (formerly part of AMD) a decade ago, then refused to commit to Global Foundaries next major process upgrades. Staying on the bleeding edge of silicon requires massive investment, which they

PCMU and PCMA voice frames are 20ms or 40ms, and no one is running with no jitter buffer, so your 30ms number doesn't make sense. Even circuit switched networks are not often below 30ms, to hit that you'd need to make a local phon

VoIP.ms is hard to port into and out of, I've repeatedly seen them drop part of the account number when transferring a number, then drag their feet for days thereafter on resubmitting the port. Always ask for the Port Order Number (PON

Google Voice is requiring ID verification now, and porting your phone number out is difficult as they charge an unlock fee and you get to deal with Bandwidth.com's port out shenanigans as they are the real underlying carrier for Google

Which vendor did you choose to partner with to provide the mobile core (IMS and such)? I've talked to a few tangentially and it seems like an interesting space.

What can be open sourced (GrapheneOS) already is, and the remainder is business logic that they have described for the MVNO that is likely carrier specific and tied to the oddball MVNO platform they are using. Very hard to make the latter u

Exactly, no on is truly overjoyed with Teams. As shovelware goes it is passable, but that is a low bar
