Partner Jon Arnold was busy at January's
Internet Telephony Conference and EXPO East In Miami, conducting a series of video interviews with a bunch of industry folk.
The videos are all freshly edited and ready for public viewing, and were produced for both
IP Convergence TV, where Jon serves as portal editor, and TMC for distribution on
TMCnet.com.
Among those interviewed include Will Stefega of
IDC, Matt Lukens of Comverse, Rich Tehrani and Greg Galitzine of
TMC, Manuel Vexler of the
IMS Forum, and last but not least Eric Burger, Deputy CTO and General Manager of the Communications Division at
BEA Systems, and me as sidekick (Eric invited me to join in at the last minute, so how could I refuse...)
For our interview segment, Eric and I are wearing our
SIP Forum hats -- he as Chairman of the Board of Directors and I as President and Managing Director (a bit of background and full disclosure all-in-one.)
Eric does most of the talking this time around, and he has some pretty interesting things to say, in my humble and biased opinion ;-) We cover the state of the industry, the interoperability challenge and the growing importance of the SIP for things like pure IP trunking (SIP trunking) to rich media/ communications application deployment.
Have a listen here.
