ITEXPO Show News Ft. Lauderdale

January 24, 2007
Please refer to this show news page this week and thereafter to make sure don’t miss any important news from Internet Telephony Conference & Expo. To be honest I have been so busy preparing for this show the last few weeks, I have been behind on all the exciting developments taking place so far.
 
Still, trends I am seeing are acquisitions galore. Expect more of these. There is so much more but I have to get back to the keynotes. Bryan Martin is speaking and is doing a great job entertaining and educating the audience at the same time.

ITEXPO Photos from Ft. Lauderdale

January 24, 2007
Here are some of the latest photos from the show. It is going very well so far as I mentioned and the event is a great way to start the 2007 year of IP communications. I walked through the exhibit hall earlier today and was really blown away at how impressive many of the booths were. The Dialogic booth was extremely impressive. It is a high tech spider-like structure. I will post some photos later today when the show opens. There will also be a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Dialogic booth. We are very excited to have Dialogic choose ITEXPO as the first show they have exhibited at. It is very exciting and further positions Internet Telephony Conference & Expo as the leading IP Communications conference in the world.

ITEXPO: VoIP Reseller Solutions Day

January 24, 2007
The second day of ITEXPO is off to a great start. I am in the Reseller Solutions Day room where the panel kicked off at 8:30 am. Here is a shot of the panelists and the audience. Surprisingly most of the room at this show consisted of telecom and not datacom VARs. It was about 70/30 in the direction of telecom VARs.
 
General themes of the sessions. Margins are shrinking, ensure you have residual income on data lines, hosted solutions, etc. Make sure you are doing network assessment.
 
It seems the audience was very hungry for the information being provided. We are close to wrapping up the first session and surprisingly SIP trunking hasn’t come up yet. I wonder if there will be a question on it.
