‘Service Provider Summit’ Conference Debuts

Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) today released an updated speaker roster for its new "Service Provider Summit" (www.serviceprovidersummit.com), debuting at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO at the Los Angeles Convention Center next month (www.itexpo.com).

The conference, taking place October 24-27, features no less than eight tracks dedicated to educating service providers about profitably delivering VoIP services to customers worldwide.

Topics covered in the Service Provider Summit include:

  IMS                                 Open Source VoIP Security         IPTV                                Security/Surveillance over IP     VoIP Peering                        e911/Regulation & Taxation        Peer-to-Peer Telephony              VoIP Traffic Management           WiFi/Wireless Telephony             Peer-to-Peer VoIP                 Consumer VoIP Marketing             Session Border Controllers        Security in the VoIP Network        Number Porting/ENUM               SIP                                 Triple Play                       Conferencing & Collaboration        Dual Mode                         Mobility 

According to Rich Tehrani, TMC president and conference chairman, service providers perhaps more than any other group need education about the opportunities and pitfalls of delivering new VoIP services.

"As VoIP has exploded over the past 18 months, service providers have been in a race to bring products to market. Along the way, there are regulatory issues like E-911 to deal with. Plus, new opportunities like IMS and IPTV have emerged in the past several months further complicating the field for service providers seeking to differentiate themselves. As in any nascent market, the savvy, educated player can get an insurmountable head start on their competitors," said Tehrani.

He added, "You won’t find a more complete service provider education anywhere than the upcoming INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO at the LA Convention Center. We’ve created a venue where carriers can gather to learn and network and become fully prepared to seize the VoIP opportunity in front of them."
