Two on the Move and Two in the Groove!
Bob Carnegie moves (back?) to Verso Technologies
The first was with Bob Carnegie who left Pactolus to take on the challenges associated with Verso Technologies . It is a return to the Clarent gear, but per Bob lots of new solutions are there. We will follow up to learn more.
Earl Turner moves on from Time Warner Telecom... to enjoy the good life, however he is not opposed to talking to people who could use his help. Many of the readers will recall that Earl was quoted as saying that Softswitches were not ready for prime time. As one of the most dedicated people to making softswitches work, I can see how the press got his goat. Still if you want to bust his chops email or perhaps IM him at
Earl Turner on Yahoo!
Other conversations included a good talk with Joe Crimi at Telcordia . He has been working on a number of Mobile Virtual Network Operators [MVNO] including the ones prominently feature by Sprint such as Disney. Looks like the relationship with Sprint paid off in the long run.
Last but certainly not least Link Hoewig from Verizon showed me his blog . I thought the conversation was going to be about Net Neutrality but instead we talked about two way communication on the Internet and particularly Verizon's FIOS and EVDO strategy.
The gist of the conversation is that Verizon is moving to an Internet where you (the end user) gets as good as it sends on the Internet.
