Keynote With Mark Spencer at VoIP Sizzles
I will be speaking at this event in a few weeks. In case you haven't
been to Dallas in July, everything sizzles, along with VoIP. This is a
great name for a great event. Is it worth braving the heat to go to
Dallas? Absolutely. The networking opportunities alone last year made
I worth my while. There were a number of partnerships and deals struck
at the inaugural show last year. I expect this year's event to be even
better. See you there.

Keynotes by Industry Leaders:
Rich Tehrani (TMC) and Mark Spencer (Digium)
Rich Tehrani is a VoIP industry expert, visionary, author and
columnist. In 1998, he founded the leading magazine focused on IP telephony,
INTERNET TELEPHONY; and, in his role as president of TMC, is the owner of
the registered trademark for the term Internet Telephony. Rich is also the
founder and chairman of INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & Expo, the leading
conference focused on VoIP since its launch in 1999.
As a writer, Rich's columns appear in every issue of INTERNET
TELEPHONY® magazine. He is also the author of "Tehrani's IP Telephony
Dictionary", a 300+ page guide to over 10,000 VoIP terms, acronyms,
products and services. Rich has also been a keynote or featured
speaker at the INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference and Expo, as well as at
numerous other VoIP events hosted by companies such as Intel/Dialogic,
Lucent, Brooktrout and Inter-Tel. He is a seasoned public speaker.
Mark Spencer founded Linux Support Services in 1999 while still a
Computer Engineering student at Auburn University. When faced with the
high cost of buying a PBX, Mark simply used his Linux PC and knowledge
of C code to write his own! This was the beginning of the world-wide
phenomenon known as Asterisk, the open source PBX, and caused Mark to
shift his business focus from Linux support to supporting Asterisk and
opening up the telecom market! Linux Support Services is now known as
Digium, and is bringing open source to the telecom market while
gaining a foothold in the telecom industry.
Mark strongly believes that every technology he creates should be
given back to the community. This is why Asterisk is fully open
source. Today that model has allowed Asterisk to remain available
free of charge, while it has become as robust as the leading and
most-expensive PBXs. The Asterisk community has ambassadors and
contributors from every corner of the globe.
