VON Blogging -- Martin, Susan and more
BOSTON, Mass. -- While we try to catch up with the backlog of great video and audio content coming your way soon, here are a couple blog posts from VON not to miss, from Martin Geddes and Susan Crawford.
Martin, as always, had the coolest phone and was the first to spot out Truphone, who was showing real, working Wi-Fi cellular convergence. Cool stuff.
At a Wednesday panel, Susan Crawford again defended the ideas of network neutrality and an open Internet, very politely but very firmly debunking some of the blather that often passes for debate.
Susan gets the quotes-o-the-day award, too. To paraphrase:
VON is very big. In fact, it's an epic conference. ... Next time I go to Fall VON I'll take the month off to soak it all in.
And hey... look who's videoblogging! Welcome to the small screen, Andy.

Ed Markey to speak at Fall 2006 VON
If you need another reason to attend next week's Fall 2006 VON show in Boston, maybe it's to hear Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., speak on Tuesday, Sept. 12. The scheduled 2 p.m. appearance of Congressman Markey, a staunch defender of the ideas of network neutrality, will be open to all attendees of the show.
No matter which side of the net neutrality debate you are on, it's worth your while to lend an ear to Congressman Markey, one of the most well-informed members of Congress on matters Internet.

Getting ready for VON
Sorry for the light posting this week, all readers new and old... we here at headquarters have been busy getting ready for next week's Spring 2006 VON show, where yours truly will once again be producing a live "print blog," aka a show daily. Look for it if you are there, and say hi if you see us... we'll be the ones taking pictures!
If you won't be with the rest of the VoIP world in San Jose, you can still follow the news from the show live at our "news" site, pulverWeb. Lots of photos there too. Plus, yours truly will be participating in Friday's "bloggers' panel," so come and heckle as necessary.
