VON Coalition: 10 years ago this week -- The Turning Point

10 years ago this week, a little noticed petition was filed at the FCC to ban the sale and distribution of VoIP software and services. Within days of its filing, I founded the VON Coalition as a voice for the VoIP industry, to fight against the ACTA petition, and ensure a regulatory environment that allowed VoIP to grow and thrive.

Thanks to our efforts back then, the FCC never acted on the ACTA petition. The VON Coalition successfully helped educate and inform policymakers about what was at stake in this and the many other challenges that followed. And with an enlightened view of VoIP, policymakers adopted a light touch regulatory environment allowing the VoIP industry to successfully grown up and mature. While ACTA, the organization, has long since disappeared, the challenges that created the VON Coalition have only escalated.

We have been incredibly successful over the last 10 years, but with the resultant industry growth has come new and growing legislative and regulatory challenges.

I point this out for a couple of reasons:

1. We are now facing more regulatory and legislative challenges this year, than we have in the last 10 years combined.
2. As we begin this next phase, we need everyone's help in bringing the industry together under one roof to create an even more powerful voice for the VoIP industry.

In the same way that I reached out to some 100 industry leaders 10 years ago to speak up for VoIP innovation, now is once again the time to take a moment to reach out to other Internet and VoIP leaders and ask them to similarly join our effort to create the right regulatory environment that allows VoIP to continue to grow and thrive.

Please take a moment to contact those colleagues you know from the hundreds of companies that are now a part of the VoIP economic ecosystem and ask them to join the VON Coalition and our efforts. I can't think of a more important investment they can make in the future of their VoIP business.

Companies interested in joining the VON Coalition should contact Jim Kohlenberger.

Jim will be speaking at Spring 2006 VON on Friday morning, March 17th.

Weekends to people mean that they can [url=http://www.ig2t.net ]ig2t[/url]have a two-day good [url=http://www.wowgold4europe.net ]wowgold4europe[/url]rest. For example， people can go [url=http://www.gameusd.org ]gameusd[/url]out to enjoy themselves or get[url=http://www.meinwowgold.com/ ]meinwowgold[/url] together with relatives and friends to talk with each [url=http://www.storeingame.net ]storeingame[/url]other or watch interesting video tapes with the whole [url=http://www.speebie.org ]speebie[/url]family.
Everyone spends weekends [url=http://www.agamegold.org ]agamegold[/url]in his own way. Within two days， some people can relax themselves by[url=http://www.mmofly.org ]mmofly[/url] listening to music，[url=http://www.ogeworld.org ]ogeworld[/url] reading novels， or watching [url=http://www.mmorpgvip.net ]mmorpgvip[/url]films. Others perhaps are more active by playing basketball， wimming or [url=http://www.gamesavor.net ]gamesavor[/url]dancing. Different people have different relaxations.
I often spend weekends [url=http://www.oggsale.net ]oggsale[/url]with my family or my [url=http://www.gamersell.net ]gamersell[/url]friends. Sometimes my parents take me on a visit to their old friends. Sometimes I go to the library to study or borrow some books to gain much[url=http://www.mmovirtex.net ]mmovirtex[/url] knowledge. I also go to see various exhibition to broaden my vision. An excursion to seashore or [url=http://www.rpg-trader.net ]rpg trader[/url]mountain resorts is my favorite way of spending weekends. Weekends are always enjoyable for me.

It is what we call 'the syndrome of the passive patient'. Basically we can't have anything with nothing and we know that if the client does not implicate himself [url=http://www.masswowgold.com]cheap WOW gold[/url]
