I am back from NXTComm, the Voice Peering Forum and my trip to Vancouver. It is good to be home and I have so much to share. A few things you should know about are the fact that TMCnet was on-hand at NXTComm doing video interviews with a number of the movers and shakers.

Here is one of these interviews with Erik Linask and Sam Lisle from Fujitsu. This interview page has a menu of all the interviews so I hope you enjoy them all.

On another note, my team and I will be gearing up to put the final touches on ITEXPO which takes place September 16-18, 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This show will consist of an audience that is approximately as follows:

• 20-30% Service Provider
• 20-30% SMB/Enterprise
• 20-30% Reseller
• 10+% Industry

The total attendance will be be between 7,000-8,000

At the same time, the Communications Developer Conference will take place and will consist of the who's who in the communications developer world. In fact this is the world's only communications developer event.

I just learned in fact that some attendees especially enjoy the timing of these events because the following weekend, a short drive away is the Manhattan Beach Open Volleyball Tournament. Whether you are a volleyball fan or not, I am looking forward to personally greeting you at the show.
