Thomas Howe Company COO Patrick Murphy posted a note about their recent participation in the Voice Peering Forum held this week in New York City. This was one of the events I was hoping to attend this year, and had been invited to, but business here in London with Truphone and Nokia prevented my being in two places at one time.
What's obvious is that there is a growing desire for service in the telephony world that offer more than the services we have today. Client Thomas Howe Company is one of the companies out at the forefront of looking at business processes, web based services and Internet based solutions and tying them up into a simple, easy to use voice application.
While this stuff is very nascent in some peoples minds, the relevance can't be missed between the story below that talks about the cable industry going 2.0, and Paul Kretkowski's VoIP News story about Thomas Howe and the desire for more that Mr. Murphy has pointed out. Clearly the 'net is making its impact felt. The blending of peering, registry and applications are the cable and wirleess networks best weapons against an already existing national telco framework that the iLecs operate. With Verizon, Qwest, Sprint and AT&T all moving in the same directions, the time to be IN the game has never been better.
