Harry Newton Tried to Buy Dialogic

October 6, 2006

Amazing as it may sound the editor of Computer Telephony Magazine was trying to purchase Dialogic from Intel and was unsuccessful. Here is the story:

-----

There is only one reason for this abysmal performance. Intel has awful management. It remains the world's largest one product company -- namely the chip for the IBM (and now Apple) PC. Everything else it has tried has failed -- from video conferencing to telecommunications and in between.

All this is known.

Nice Write-Up on ITEXPO

October 6, 2006

I just got the latest Mercator Capital newsletter and was delighted to see a well-written article on TMC’s upcoming Internet Telephony show. First though a plug on Mercator Capital:

Mercator Capital is a privately-held investment bank focused on mergers & acquisitions, private placements, and strategic advisory services. Mercator's IP Communications Newsletter is a monthly analysis and commentary on the major business stories impacting the convergence of voice, video, data, and wireless communications.

TMC ITExpo Preview

TMC's semi-annual Internet Telephony Conference and Expo takes place in San Diego, from October 10 – 13. As with other telecom shows in the current market, the ITExpo keeps getting larger, and this edition certainly covers the gamut for IP communications.

Going to see Cantata

October 5, 2006

I am heading to Boston now to see many Cantata partners as well as the Cantata team. I am really looking forward to getting their soon. Hopefully I will have some nice scenery to video and send to my blog. So far it has been an industrial view. I am sitting on the wrong side of the train it seems but I am pretty sure some nice scenery is coming up soon.

ITEXPO Preview on New Telephony

October 5, 2006

Here is a pre-show write-up on ITEXPO I just saw on New Telephony. Good stuff. In a pre-show meeting yesterday I was just blown away at how much content there is at this show. Certainly if you have been following the ITEXPO topic page of my blog you are keeping up with much of the activity.

Some of the areas worth noting are IMS, IPTV, triple-play, quintuple-play (by IPDR.org), VoIP peering, FMC, SIP trunking, call center 2.0, enterprise IP communications, how to make money reselling VoIP, etc.

IP Communications Investments

October 5, 2006

Recently a reporter called me to ask what the best investments are today in the communications space. I thought about this question for a while and these are my thoughts. What do you think?

I hope to connect with many of you next week at ITEXPO to discuss these matters in detail.

IMS

There are a number of trends that will alter the communications landscape of the future. Perhaps the most important trend is the move towards IMS.

UTStarcom FMC

October 4, 2006

UTStarcom is hosting a symposium at our upcoming ITEXPO on FMC. The Symposium will be held on Thursday in the Pavilion Theater on the show floor from 11:30 – 1:00 and again on Friday 1:00 – 2:30. This session is open to service providers, carriers and the press. I have attached a description provided by UTStarcom.

Service providers today face a number of customer challenges:

Cellular service coverage is still a source of consumer dissatisfaction, especially at home and in the office-two locations that account for half of all mobile phone calls.

NXTComm

October 4, 2006

I just heard that USTA and TIA announced TelecomNext 2007, which was planned for Las Vegas on March 18-20, 2007, will not be taking place. Instead, the two organizations are putting on NXTComm, taking place in Chicago, June 18-21, 2007. This will replace the currently scheduled GlobalComm.

It is worth pointing out that Internet Telephony Conference & Expo remains the only event in IP communications with a growing audience of decision makers, press, analysts and most importantly exhibitors. (See latest testimonials from ITEXPO East 2007 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

Dialogic Back After 7 Years

October 4, 2006

This Dialogic will be about IP not TDM

If you have been in the telecom business for five years or more you know the large shadow cast over the industry by Dialogic. In the mid-nineties the computer telephony/CTI market was booming and Dialogic was the largest player in the space. Their partner programs were legendary and their ecosystem of loyal partners like Parity Software, Alliance Systems, Apex Voice, Executone, Pronexus Systems, Prima and others was the largest in the industry.

Dialogic’s competitors launched ecosystems of their own and NMS, Rhetorex and Brooktrout all competed ferociously to be the biggest and best DSP resource board vendor. Popular applications at the time were international callback, IVR, ACD, application generators and virtual receptionists like Wildfire.

If you are looking for a VoIP provider or are a VoIP service provider, you should be aware of the service provider directory on TMCnet. We launched this directory a while back in an effort to ensure the world has a single place to go to when choosing their IP communications provider of choice.

There are a ton of things going on at TMC and one of the most exciting is our web seminar program where we educate decision-makers on some of the latest and most important topics in the world of IP communications and VoIP.

We will be working with Jon on more of these very soon.
