Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Thanksgiving Day in the United States is a day that I’ve traditionally known as a day of: family gatherings, to offer thanks, to share a festive holiday meal and to watch a football game or two.

Today used to be one of the days members of the US Ham Radio community would spend time on their radios, offering ‘phone patch’ services to members of the US Military to their loved ones back home. These days, with the advent of IP Communications and the broadband Internet, many family members are now able to engage in their own personal one to one communication sessions.

Looking back, the US VoIP Industry has a lot to be thankful for and I can’t help but appreciate how much has changed in the past twelve months. I can only imagine how interesting the next twelve months are most likely going to be.

Today is also a day when I really miss members of my own extended family who used to be there to share in our Thanksgiving Day festivities.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to All!
