SquawkBox January 26 – Lee Dryburgh

by alec on January 27, 2009

We hosted Lee Dryburgh, the organizer of eComm, on the January 26th SquawkBox conference call.  A wide ranging and well attended conference call, we discussed the origins of the eComm Conference, what to expect from this year’s conference, and highlights of previous years.

Along the way, we also managed to talk about Open networks, telecom and Skype, whether interoperability really matters at all, and the communications continuum idea that folks like Jeff Pulver have been actively promoting. And we managed to convince lee to dust off his crystal ball, and prognosticate on the future of telecommunications.

eComm will be March 3-5 in San Francisco.  Early bird registrations are open for just two more days – until January 30th.  If you’re in the communications industry, you owe it to yourself to attend this event.

On the Calliflower Conference Call: Jonathan Jensen, Dan York, Jim Courtney, Lee dryburgh, Martyn Davies, Mark Hewitt, Mike Pruyn, Brad Jones, James Body, Ken Camp, Sheryl Breuker, Warren Bent, Todd Spraggins, Jeanette Fisher, TJ Snell, Sergio Meinardi, and Tim Panton.

“It seems highly likely to me that at some point in the future we’ll all look back and say that 2008 was the year that the VoIP industry finally died.” That’s how I started off a piece last week which kicked off a round of commentary the likes of which I haven’t seen in a [...]

Hot and bothered about plumbing.

January 2, 2009

Back on December 30 of last year, Skype Journal’s Phil Wolff was opining in the Skype 4.x discussion group on what he’d do if Skype were more open.  This is some of what Phil wrote: I’d be building Skype relationships and conversations into web sites. into mobile apps. i’d be in mashup heaven. i’d be [...]

VoIP: “If you hadn’t nailed its feet to the perch, it’d be pushin’ up the daisies!”

December 31, 2008

Yesterday’s 2008: The Year that VoIP Died generated a slew of interesting responses. Jon Arnold and Andy Abramson wrote me in email to say that I had made the same points that they had.  While it’s true that I made many of the same points, my view of their meaning is perhaps different.  I don’t [...]

2008: the year VoIP becomes disruptive

December 28, 2007

VoIP News published its round up of the top 25 VoIP blogs for 2007.  I was flattered to be included on the list. Readers will note that this has happened despite the fact that over the past 12 months I've written less and less about pure VoIP and more about the web, social networks, and other technologies. I [...]
