Talk about good timing.Over the weekend, I wrote a post pleading with Google to please, finally, bring VoIP capabilities to Google Voice namely, with an app for Android. The app would have some major benefits: it would let you make and receive calls over your home and work Wifi networks whenever they're available (that means fewer dropped calls at the office, even if you're deep inside a large building). And whenever you aren't around Wifi, you could fall back to your carrier minutes. Unfortunately, while Google was actually working on building a VoIP-powered app for Android long ago, it shelved it, likely because it was concerned about infuriating the carriers.But shortly after that post ran, I started hearing some whispers. Turns out I'm not the only one with the idea there's another big (albeit less well known) fish that's about to make a splash. Get ready for Republic Wireless, a new mobile phone servicefrom Bandwidth.com that will be launching on November 8, and could truly be the phone carrier you've always wanted.
