Slides from eComm 2011: How IPv6 Will Kill Telecom – And What We Need To Do About It
Continue Reading: Slides from eComm 2011: How IPv6 Will Kill Telecom – And What We Need To Do About ItLast week at the eComm conference in San Francisco I spoke about how IPv6 will impact telecommunications and what we as a community should be doing about it. The session was recorded on video and will be posted at some point in the next few months. In the meantime, I have posted my slides on SlideShare – they may not be terribly useful without my narrative… but you may find some of the links of interest:How IPv6 Will Kill Telecom – And What We Need To Do About It View more presentations from Dan York

Broadcasting LIVE From eComm at 7:45am Pacific TODAY
Continue Reading: Broadcasting LIVE From eComm at 7:45am Pacific TODAYWant to know what is going on at eComm, the “Emerging Communications Conference” this week in San Francisco?
In about 75 minutes, at 7:45am US Pacific, I’ll be joining Andy Abramson for a one-hour live broadcast on the VoIP Users Conference (VUC) audio and video bridge.
Details to join are found on the VUC site … but basically involve connecting to http://bluejeans.com/vuc using either Skype, H.323 or GTalk. You also can simply call in and listen via either:
- SIP: 200901@login.zipdx.com
- Skype: vuc.me
- Regular old PSTN phone: +15672522286
We[1] are doing this all three days of eComm and are planning to somewhat randomly pull in speakers and others that we see in the eComm breakfast area, but Andy tells me that this morning (Monday), we’ve already lined up:
- Alec Saunders of the new Voice 3.0 Manifesto fame
- Todd Carothers of CounterPath
- Erik Lagerway of HookFlash and other VoIP ventures
Not entirely sure what we’ll cover, but you can be sure that Alec and I will probably get into my response about what’s wrong with his Voice 3.0 piece 🙂
It should be fun, regardless…
We’ll also have the IRC backchannel active at #vuc on Freenode. More info on how to…

eComm Starts June 27 – The Event Showcasing Emerging Communications
Continue Reading: eComm Starts June 27 – The Event Showcasing Emerging CommunicationsWill you be out in San Francisco next week for eComm, the “Emerging Communications Conference & Awards“? If so, I’ll see you there, as I’m speaking on Wednesday. If not… are you interested in going? I still have a pass or two available as a speaker. (Drop me a note… quickly!)
I’ve always enjoyed eComm as it truly is a gathering of the thought leaders of the communications space… whether those people are working with VoIP or mobile or unified communications or whatever. It’s where the “alpha geeks” of comms go to hang out… to network… to listen and learn as they share with each other what they are working on truly out there on the bleeding edge of communications.
Some people have called eComm the “TED of Telecom” and in many ways that’s an apt comparison… quick, focused presentations to a high quality audience.
Check out the schedule and the long list of speakers… some truly great people will be there. I expect to be learning a good bit.
My own talk on Wednesday will be on the IPv6 theme I’ve been on lately. I titled it “How IPv6 Will Kill Telecom – And What We…

Speaking at SIPNOC Next Week on SIP Interoperability and Security (and Joining an IPv6 BOF)
Continue Reading: Speaking at SIPNOC Next Week on SIP Interoperability and Security (and Joining an IPv6 BOF)Next week in the DC area (Herndon, VA) there will be a unique event taking place – SIPNOC: The SIP Network Operators Conference. This event is organized by the SIP Forum and will bring together a great collection of service providers and carriers to share and learn from each other about the realities behind providing SIP-based services today. It will be a great place for those providing real-time communications over IP networks to look at how we can continue to expand and improve the services.There’s a packed agenda at the event that includes many great sessions I’m looking forward to attending. I’ll be there speaking about SIP interoperability and some of the lessons we’ve learned at Voxeo as we’ve interconnected our SIP cloud to that of so many carriers. I’ll also be donning my VOIP Security Alliance (VOIPSA) hat to participate on a panel about security.
And naturally given my intense interest in IPv6 these days (and all my writing about IPv6, I’ll of course be joining in to the “IPv6 Readiness” BOF planned for Tuesday, April 26.
I’m very much looking forward to this first SIPNOC event… if you are already planning to be there please do say…

Video: Walking the EnterpriseConnect show flow in March 2011
Continue Reading: Video: Walking the EnterpriseConnect show flow in March 2011Last month down at Enterprise Connect in Orlando, Florida, I wanted to experiment a bit with using the iPhone 4 with Qik for recording videos. As you can see below, I shot a quick video (using Qik 🙂 ) of about a minute-and-a-half of me walking through the trade show flow. It was purely a test of using Qik on the iPhone… and ironically I actually forgot about creating the video for a bit.Anyway, here it is… it’s certainly not the best produced video I’ve ever done… in fact that was zero post-production. I just pointed the camera and started shooting (and undoubtedly look a bit silly walking through a trade show floor holding my iPhone in front of me!).
If you’ve never been on the exhibit hall floor of one of the various industry trade shows and conferences, this is the type of thing you will see…
Next event, I’ll try to do a few more of these… perhaps if I can find one with good WiFi I’ll even try some live streaming… 🙂
