I was chatting with CEO of Super Technologies and DID guru Suzanne Bowen (who I hear throws one heck of an ITEXPO show party) and she was commenting on all the great traffic she was getting at her booth this week. In case you've been intentionally avoiding the DID and DDI space: DIDX, a registered and patented service of Super Technologies, Inc, provides an exchange of Direct Inward Dialing (DID) and DDI numbers.

Suzanne has a channel on TMCnet.com dedicated to the entire market. Check it out here.

I had the opportunity to spend some time this week at ITEXPO with the folks at i2Telecom, the well known developer of patented and innovative Voice-over-Internet Protocol products and services. And I say innovative without hesitation after the team took home TMC's Most Innovative at the in Las Angeles.

It seems the company is garnering a lot of attention of late. Earlier this month CEO Paul Arena was featured this week on CNBC's popular pre-market show, "The Call." Paul was there to talk about the company's "MyGlobalTalk."

MyGlobalTalk technology makes digital-quality cellular VoIP applications available to Blackberry and Windows mobile users.

Stay tuned. Paul told me there are some interesting things coming soon.
