I didn’t hear anything about replacing my landline for free, though I admit I was multitasking just a bit. Did I miss it? Could someone point me to the timestamp if I did?
Apologies for that. I had it in the description — and the show agenda — but we didn’t make it to it. I’m actually waiting for an email back from Poly to confirm their long-term plans for the OBi200 device, but that’s the answer (at least for now… it’s what I use!). Hopefully I’ll have data from them in time to include this segment in the next episode.
Thanks, I will look forward to hearing about the OBi200 in an upcoming episode!
