VoIP Mission to Israel: May 8-9, 2005

February 15th will mark the 10 year anniversary of VocalTec's introduction of IPhone and the commercial commencement of the IP Communications Revolution.

With respect to VocalTec and to the very many other Israeli companies responsible for helping to make VoIP happen over the years, I have started working on plans to organize a "VoIP Mission to Israel" which is tentatively scheduled to take place May 8-9th.

The goal of this mission is to bring members of the worldwide IP Communications Industry to the birthplace of commercial VoIP and to spent some time exploring the near term future of where the industry is headed and what we can expect over the next 10 years. I do hope some of our friends from Washington, D.C. would be able to join us.

If you are interested in joining this "VoIP Mission" and/or would be in a position to help to recruit others who would be interested in joining us, please drop me a line.

This "VoIP Mission" has been a 5 year 'work-in-progress' and something that I would like to see happen in 2005.

Hi Jeff,

As you may or may not know, Israel has experienced a massive surge of VoIP services during the past 18 months. This is mostly due to new government regulations and the "Explosiveness" of Asterisk inside the Open-Source community in Israel.

I was wondering, if it would be possible to arrange for you a meeting, with some of the people behind the open-source VoIP community in Israel. I'm confident that they would all love to hear from you and get a chance to 'pick-your-brain' for a while. If such a meeting sounds interesting to you, please feel free to contact me on my e-mail or via my FWD number at: 634058

Regards,
Nir Simionovich

Hi Jeff, as you may know the Hammer VoIP test and monitoring portfolio by Empirix Inc, we have been working with manufacturers and operators in Israel for the past 10 years. As a test and monitoring supplier, we are focused on providing the enabling tools for feature test, load/benchmarking, installation and service optimization. Yes, either myself or a colleague from the Empirix management team would be interested to join you on your VoIP mission to Israel. regards Duane Sword (VP Marketing).
