VoIP Acquisition of the Day: Tekelec picks up VocalData!
While September, 2004 will be known for the hurricanes which affected the Caribbean, Florida and other parts of the United States, September 2004 will also be known as the time when the first major waves of VoIP acquisitions started again.
This is a repeat of the acquisition mania that affected the VoIP space back in 1998/99.
Picking up after Alcatel's purchase of eDial last week comes the VoIP acquisition of the day -- this time it was Tekelec's acquiring of VocalData.
This is just another sign of how strong the VoIP industry is becoming and if history is any indication, a foreshadowing of a combination of mergers, acquisitions, funding announcements and IPO fillings that we will continue to see for the foreseeable future.
