James Enck gets the hat tip on this one, that I missed on the wires.
That’s likely because my gut tells me IDT which is a well funded alternative long distance carrier that also birthed Net2Phone and is playing in the cable space as a technology supplier to MSOs made a very strong move in hiring a proven veteran with credentials.
With all the mergers going on in the telecom industry, my viewpoint is that the market will be very ripe for upstarts who want to change how telephony and telephone like services are delivered. Wireless is certainly one of the new ways that those divided digitally will be able to quickly catch up.
