      <![CDATA[Marc Robins, a former TMC co-worker dropped Rich and me a line to tell us some good news about the <a href="http://www.sipforum.org">SIP Forum</a> that Marc is now a part of (he's the Managing Director). While I still hold a <em>grudge</em> against Marc for leaving TMC, I'm glad he at least stayed in the VoIP industry. Just kidding Marc! <img src="http://blog.tmcnet.com/mtstatic/FCKeditor/emoticons/wink_smile.gif" alt="" /> I'll see you in September at the <a href="http://www.tmcnet.com/voip/conference/">next ITEXPO</a>!<br />
<br />
Speaking of ITEXPO &amp; the SIP Forum, you might also be interested in <a href="http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/voip/sip-forum-announces-ratification-of-version-10-of-sipconnect.asp">reading about SIPConnect</a>. I mentioned SIPconnect and how important this standard will be to SIP trunking and at the last <a href="http://www.tmcnet.com/voip/conference/">ITEXPO</a>, the SIP Forum announced an important ratification of version 1.0 of the SIPconnect Technical Recommendation. It's <a href="http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/voip/sip-forum-announces-ratification-of-version-10-of-sipconnect.asp">worth a gander</a>.<br />
<br />
