I'm starting to get excited about next week's Internet Telephony show in Miami. Other than the cross country flight, I think this week's show will be a very good warm up for the March VON. Why? Because many companies will be making announcements, but I fully expect the big bombs to be dropped in March @ VON. The reason is the levels of media.
Looking over the press lists of both shows the Pulver team has assembled an all-star list of "A" level journalists and analysts that make it great for the exhibitors to tell their story. All of that said, I think that Internet Telephony will be very interesting and that the companies that are there, and the media and analysts who attend will enjoy the more laid back, festive atmosphere of Miami Beach.
VON will be very intense, with AOL likely making a formal introduction of their VoIP service in the USA. With a week in between the two conferences I really don't see how VoIP won't be blasted all over the trade and mainstream press. The noise level will be high, but bloggers will likely be the first to have many of the stories so keep reading.
