eBay/Skype: Accelerating the Adolescence of the IP Communications Industry

Yesterday morning while reading the Business Week story: Tech IPOs Are Clicking Again, I started thinking just how mainstream the IP Communications industry had become in 2005. From the perspective of Fall 2005 VON, it also meant that even more VCs, Investment Bankers, Hedge Funds and Entrepreneurs will be getting involved in the IP Communications space.

Moments after I finished reading the story, I received an email from a friend who sent me a copy of the "eBay to Acquire Skype" press release and I just smiled. (Thank you AD). The world of IP Communications had just changed and become even more “real.” I just hope we all get a chance to enjoy the adolescence of IP Communications for as long as possible.

Just about everyone who is anyone in the IP Communication ecosystem will be joining us next week in Boston at Fall 2005 VON. Companies recently in the news including: AOL, Google, Microsoft, Skype, Vonage and Yahoo! will all be well represented amongst the 1500+ other companies that are already part of our event community.

If you are thinking about joining us and haven’t done so yet, today would be a great day to take a moment to register for Fall VON.

I’m looking forward to spending next week in Boston. Hope you can join us. :)

Ebay was just window shopping for technologies to become the new Goliath however always remember that there's always David around .
The only difference that I can say about Skype and FWD is that ... at FWD you are not treated as a number , its the personal touch that makes the difference and its vital in a communication company .Goodluck for the relaunch of FWD Jeff !
