Deutsche Telekom is backing the internet telephone company Jajah, becoming the first major phone company to support such technology.

T-Online Venture Fund chairman Andreas Kindt said in a company statement: “By investing in companies like Jajah, we will be able to continue to bring users around the world the innovative solutions they are looking for.”

Curious and curiouser. So on one hand you’ve got Vodafone and Orange, in the ‘VOIP is bad for business as people won’t use our network to make voice calls, so let’s block it every way we can’ camp – and on the other T-Mobile’s parent company who’ve just pumped a load of cash into a VOIP related company.

This one will be interesting to watch…
