Times are already challenging for network operators, retail and wholesale, doing their best to serve their customers.  Even more challenges lie ahead. One example is Cloud, or Big Data, putting converged networks at the heart of communications and putting huge traffic volumes on them.

Because our region is such a hot spot for business, five or six global VoIP-ers talked to me about entering the LAC market with support from BT.  I look forward to continuing the discussions we started in Chicago.  [Read more...]
