Frankfurt/Oder (ots) – Neben den sportlichen und finanziellen Gesichtspunkten bleibt vor allem die Frage, warum der FC Bayern diesen Transfer ausgerechnet zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ffentlich gemacht hat. Denn besonders den BVB trifft die Nachricht vom Abgang seines talentiertesten Spielers zur Unzeit, schlielich empfngt das Team heute keinen geringeren als Real Madrid. Selbst wenn die Dortmunder Akteure das Gegenteil behaupten, eine optimale Vorbereitung auf das selbst ernannte Spiel des Jahres sieht anders aus.
Der Zeitpunkt der Verffentlichung legt jedoch die Vermutung nahe, dass die Bayern von der Debatte um Uli Hoene ablenken wollen. Solch negative Presse wollte und konnte sich der Rekordmeister nicht lnger mit ansehen. Und so sorgt der FC Bayern kurzerhand mit anderen Schlagzeilen fr Ablenkung. +++

Endloswinter sorgt für Fernreise-Boom: Top 10 meistgebuchte Last Minute-Reiseziele in der Ferne
Twilio announced today its support of Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP. With this capability in its arsenal, users will be able to modify their communication processes using the Web programming language of their choice, while also helping to reduce the development cycles. What’s important to note here is that this move is perhaps Twilio’s first major step into moving more towards the enterprise, after years of being more for small businesses and individual developers.
Now SIP might not be terribly important for most people to care about, but for system administrators within larger companies, it could be.
Twilio says that there is a slow movement taking place whereby companies are moving away from public switch telephone networks and more towards Voice Over IP, or VoIP, of which SIP is involved with. In most cases, companies have had physical hardware installed on-premise and needed multiple ventures to come in and handle implementing customizations and even build out the call center.
With SIP, Twilio is hoping to help companies move all of the telephony logic out to the cloud the same way its handling dial technology. This includes conference calls, text-to-speech, custom routing tools, and more — basically instead of building the services inside the office, it’s handled within the cloud.
At this point, the three groups that will most likely derive some benefit from SIP from Twilio are those in the enterprise, specifically large companies that have already invested millions of dollars into technologies sitting in closets that require pricey and lengthy upgrades and are looking to cut down on costs; call centers that are doing inbound traffic; and developers who are interested in building new technologies on top of SIP.
What exactly is SIP? It’s defined as:
[A]n application layer protocol designed to be independent of the underlying transport layer; it can run on Transmission Control Protocol(TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), or Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP).It is a text-based protocol, incorporating many elements of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
In short, it’s a protocol for setting up communication sessions over the Internet. Twilio says that with this technology, companies will be able to “experience higher quality communications, while at the same time reducing communication costs, leveraging their legacy investments, and speeding up development cycles.”
Joe McCorkle, director of IT & networking at RealPage, says:
Twilio’s platform, including the new SIP capabilities, enable us to quickly implement advanced functionality in our contact center. What’s more, we can customize and scale our application on an as-needed basis. A highly modern system being updated with simple API web development, significantly increases our ROI and decreases our mean time to value, while at the same time making the most out of our existing technologies.
For many years, SIP had only been available through major telecommunication companies and programming for this was a rare commodity. Now, Twilio looks to open it up to more people. It has already beta-tested this service with 20 to 40 active customers and Twilio says it will continue to improve the product — right now it’s a “minimum viable product” for SIP.
Companies that choose to use SIP from Twilio will find the pricing to be different than the services’s traditional pricing. SIP calls are around half of a cent per minute.

Twilio adds support for SIP technology to expand its scope to enterprise customers
There’s probably not a single person on the planet who thinks foreign-currency transfers are cheap, or even priced reasonably, unless he or she works for a bank.
Yet surprisingly, there hasn’t been that much innovation in the space so far. A new European startup co-founded by one of the people who joined Skype when it was still a cute little baby company aims to change all that, and they’ve received backing from some heavy-hitters who would like to see them succeed as well.
TransferWise, as the Estonian company is called, is today announced seed funding to the tune of $1.3 million for its crowdsourced money transfer service. The capital injection is one thing, but in this case it’s also worth noting who invested.
Backed early by Seedcamp, TransferWise has received new funding from IA Ventures, Index Ventures, PayPal and Slide co-founder Max Levchin in addition to a group of unnamed ‘strategic’ angel investors (including the people behind household names in the financial tech industry, such as Wonga, Betfair and PayPal).
Seedcamp participated in the funding as well, along with early-stage investment firms Kima Ventures and The Accelerator Group.
TransferWise’s mission is, or sounds, deceptively simple: to make moving money from one place to another securely and quickly at a minimal cost.
It employs a peer-to-peer model to get the best foreign currency exchange and transfer rate for end consumers, bypassing banks, and has already saved its early users over half a million pounds since its launch in January 2011.
All TransferWise money transfers are handled according to the real mid-market exchange rates that traditional, big banks receive on the interbank market, only they will charge a heap more for (often hidden) ‘services’ rendered.
Instead, TransferWise uses the mid-market rate, and charges only a low, nominal flat fee on small transfers (just £1 on transfers up to £300).
Currently, the startup only supports payments through its digital platform between the UK and eurozone countries, but they are obviously looking to expand to other currencies in the near future.
Importantly, TransferWise is licensed by the UK Financial Services Authority as an Authorised Payment Institution.
A video embedded below shows you how it works.
TransferWise’s early-adopting users include expats, international students, pensioners who moved abroad but also, increasingly, small to medium-sized businesses looking to steer clear of the red tape and high cost involved with money transfer today, the startup tells us.
TransferWise was co-founded by Taavet Hinrikus, who played an instrumental role in getting Skype off the ground back in the day after working as a product manager for Joltid, the company that basically invented the P2P content delivery network that is still the foundation of Skype today.
The other co-founder is Kristo Kaarmann, a financial services expert who previously spearheaded strategic efforts with Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The startup has set up shop in East London at TechCity UK.
Roger Ehrenberg, founder and managing partner at IA Ventures, will join TransferWise’s board of directors. Which makes sense:
Ehrenberg used to be president and CEO of DB Advisors, Deutsche Bank’s internal hedge fund trading platform, before becoming an angel investor, and later a venture capitalist. He’s invested in companies like bitly, Buddy Media, Clickable and TweetDeck and serves on the boards of Datasift, Metamarkets and Simple.com.
With this kind of backing, it’ll be interesting to see how far TransferWise goes in its quest to bring transparency to the world of foreign money exchanges and transfers.
