Disruptive Telephony

Congrats are definitely in order to Alec, Andy, Jamie, Larry, Luca and Thomas on the launch of their new portal called "Voyces". As Andy Abramson writes in his first post on the site:

A few months ago a group of us, all of whom will be blogging here, got together and realized that with the declining media environment, less pages in the trade press and the failure of the remaining outlets to be able to provide enough coverage of what is still a very much growing sector, that there was a need to be filled. That need was the Independent voice on voice communications.

Alec Saunders writes in his first post about the changes in the communication space and says this:

The cost of entry to be in the business of delivering communications products is dramatically lower than it has ever been, and continues to fall. As a result we’ve seen an explosion of creativity in this space – a renaissance of sorts in which companies and individuals alike merrily combine communications, web, mobile and desktop technologies into a heady “witches brew” of innovation.

I'm delighted to see this team of six come together. I've known several of them since the mid-2000's when the circle of "VoIP bloggers" was quite small and we all knew each other ... and over the many years of conferences, dinners and other events we've certainly become friends... and the others I've met more recently and have been pleased to get to know them. Congrats, guys!

I look forward to seeing the writing they will do... and would encourage you all to check out www.voyces.com!

P.S. On the About Voyces page, I kept looking at Alec's picture and thinking it looked so familiar... but couldn't place it. Then I realized why... it is a picture I took in my "Faces of ITEXPO" set! Glad you liked it enough to use it, Alec!
