T-Mobile Parent Invests in VoIP

The German telephone company, Deutsche Telekom, announced today that they are investing in JAJAH. Though they have yet to disclose the specifics, they have participated in the recent $20 million funding round with Intel.

JAJAH functions quite differently from its competitors like Skype and Vonage. JAJAH users still must hang onto their existing land line, though the service does allow users to make free or cheap calls using the internet.

As Forbes reported today, JAJAH certainly has its work cut out. With some 2 millions users, they’re still a far cry from the 200 million users of Skype, and the market is becoming increasingly crowded.

Should be interesting.
