The focus on telecommunications in 2008 is now put on the wireless industry, while faster pipes enable wireless broadband networks deliver voice, multimedia, and data applications to a wider range of businesses and consumers.
Rebtel, is the telecommunications company that introduced Group Talk — a new Facebook application that lets users set up free conference calls that can included both Facebook and non-Facebook users in 40 countries around the world.
“Do something fun, celebrate a friend’s birthday together, plan an event, or use Group Talk to schedule a free one-on-one call with someone special living abroad,” said Hjalmar Winbladh, Rebtel’s co-founder and CEO.
Setting up a Group Talk call can be done in less than a minute. The person who sets up the call enters their Facebook friends’ names, clicks Add, and can then make the call private — just for the people invited — or public, which makes the call open to any of their friends who want to join.
To include people who are not Facebook users the person setting up the call enters participants’ names, mobile phone numbers or landline numbers and their email addresses, and clicks Add.
