pulver.com and the underdog:
A trend is emerging at the VON Parties, which is, perhaps illustrative of, and inspirational for, the battles we are waging in the communications revolution. At the last Fall VON Party, on a huge screen overshadowing the Goo Goo Dolls performance, the Red Sox completed their 7 game, come-from-behind Cinderella victory over the Yankees, Even I, a diehard Mets fan had to pull for these most unlikely heroes, Last night at the VON Europe 2005 Party, on a huge screen competing with the Herding Cats for the hearts of the crowd, Liverpool defeated Milan, coming back from a 3-0 deficit, to win the European Soccer Title. Those who know swear that the new boys from Liverpool wrote an even more implausible underdog story than that of the '04 Red Sox,
Combining this Cinderella story with the freshness and genuine enthusiasm I felt at VON Europe 2005. I have renewed hope that we too will ultimately prevail and win the hearts and minds of polcy makers and consumers as we attempt to usher in the new era of an IP-enabled communications future. At least until the virtual world feels as real as the physical world, I and the pulver crew will continue to walk the earth evangelizing for IP-based communications, In a week, Chicago for SuperComm and the SIP Summit; the following week.Israel to pay tribute to the pioneers of VoIP. I hope to see some of you as the pulver.com world tour continues.
