Squawk Box October 7: Jazinga

This morning we welcomed Jazinga‘s Randy Busch and Nabeel Jafferali. Jazinga’s breakthrough new product debuted last month. A combined router, wifi access point, firewall, PBX and more, it delivers the features of a high end corporate telephone system at a fraction of the price. And, it’s easy enough for anyone to set up and use.

We chatted with Randy about a variety of topics, ranging from what’s in the Jazinga box (Asterisk, plus their proprietary software) to how do they plan to get to market (VAR channels and ultimately big box retail).

On the Calliflower Conference Call this morning: Randy Busch, Nabeel Jafferali, Dan York, Jim Courtney, Jeanette Fisher, Jeb Brilliant, Ian Hood, Bill Volk, Phil Wolff, Mike Pruyn, Sergio Meinardi, Tom Orr and Greg McQuay.

Good things come in small packages. Introducing Jazinga.

A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
