My main question here would be could I use this API in an app that is installed on phones on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc. I'm sure this is just my ignorance of understanding the press release.
Yes, Call Management is cross-carrier. Don't worry about not understanding the press release. Those aren't ever written to be understood by humans.
Go Voxeo go!
In the past year they've inked with AT&T and T-Mobile.
My BIG question here is: Where does this leave Twilio? Did they not just ink a deal with AT&T to provide apps for call control?
Reading between the lines: Twilio got locked out of AT&T because they don't do IMS, whereas Voxeo does. Very interesting, very very interesting.
Brian from Voxeo Labs here: I'm really excited that this has publicly launched. I worked on the call management api from the operations side of things, and I'll be happy to answer any questions I can.
Have calls to your mobile number ring to a phone or computer in your house (wifi or wired).
Tremendously excited for the folks at Voxeo for this huge win. In the past year they've inked with AT&T and T-Mobile. My BIG question here is: Where does this leave Twilio?

Can you give a brief overview of how the API works. I can't really understand the press release on what solution does the API provide.
Had to reread this a couple of times: AT&T products and services are provided or offered by subsidiaries and affiliates of AT&T Inc. under the AT&T brand and not by AT&T Inc. Gotta love corporate America.
On the other hand, AT&T is making a strong endorsement of the product by offering it under their name. Since the customer trusts AT&T when it comes to telephony technology, this saves a lot of money for the 'subsidiaries and affiliates' on marketing etc. AT&T saves money by not having to develop their own in-house product.
Who doesn't win here?

IMS?
It's a wrapper system to let Telcos perform IP operations on non-IP infrastructure. Lets you treat the PSTN like an IP network.
It's pretty jenky but it's required by the big guys for interop.

Looks like AT&T screwed them (Twilio).

We have a presentation up about what you can do with the API at http://www.crunched.com/access/dc387b73d0aa876e67a173e7b1fdf...
