Internet Telephony – Leveraging Assets :: Symblogogy (it-expo-day-1.wmv by Edmund Jenks)

In Los Angeles
this week, a conference and tradeshow focusing on technologies and strategies
aligned to take advantage of the “New Phone” world was covered over a three day
period. INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO managed by Technology
Marketing Corporation, attended mostly by technically directed operatives, was
extremely informative for those who might be familiar with some of the niche
communication applications they use every day but may not have been exposed to
the whole picture of phone based communications and systems.

Discussions about matching up analog signals with digital, open
systems verses proprietary systems, value-added partnerships, small office /
home office, scalability, unified communications, access points, enterprise
mobility, internet protocol television (IPTV), and more were engaged and further
explored on how all of this can be applied to the internet as a business
proposition for profit.

It is an exciting time for the world of business phone
systems in that many systems in place have a heavy investment in infrastructure
yet the business operations that own them, want to take advantage of the
capabilities the internet can offer.
