Tapping founders of market shifting companies such as TiVo and Napster for information and advice, Andrew Frame, CEO and founder of ooma has plans to do more than just challenge the way traditional telephony operates. ooma’s technology, if successful, will provide broadband connected homes with a much cheaper way to make long distance phone calls and control its phone service. Essentially, ooma users will own their own phone service, as the ooma hub changes the telephony game from service to device centered. The ooma hub will connect to a broadband line and will allow its users to make calls to wireless phones and wired land lines. ooma has no service fees, but plans to offer new products for its telephone unit that will provide for a continuous revenue stream.

ooma’s future plans involve making home phones more like cell phones by adding such capabilities as customizable ring tones and others.

The ooma hub centers the ooma user’s telephone experience. Connected to a phone and broadband cable, it generates a more “soothing” dial tone according to CEO, Frame, one that means “free calling”. The hub also automatically creates a second phone line from which users can make a call even when the first line is in use (both lines have the same number). Features include a broadband answering machine and ooma lounge which offers an easy place to control call and voice mail settings.
