JahJah Jumpstarts Enterprise Voice With MicrosoftMicrosoft agreed to use JahJah's VOIP software to let business customers make voice calls over the Internet from computers and landlines. JahJah serves VOIP to technology companies, carriers, mobile operators and enterprises, which means it competes with pretty much any Web-based calling platform, from established specialists such as Skype and Vonage to fellow upstarts such as RingCentral and even Google Voice.
