Just a few multimedia tidbits to share from the show. In case you get tired of reading about VON, you can also listen or watch more commentary! I did a couple of podcasts and a videocast from the floor at the Pulvermedia setup.
For now, only the first podcast has been posted, and you can download it here. I'll post the second one and the videocast as soon as they're up.
This podcast was done with fellow Canadian Jim Courtney. We're often at the same shows, and he's got a great blog on Skype Journal. We shared our overall impressions of the show. The second podcast was about all the Canadian companies we saw at the show - stay tuned for that one.
Speaking of Jim, I was asked to comment on a Skype/Mac story for MacNewsWorld during the show, and since he's so close to this space, we did the interview together. Here it is, if you'd like to read it. Thanks for helping out on this one, Jim.

VON Recap - Loose Ends
Am not sure which is more stressful - tying up loose ends before going to a show, or catching up when you get back. I had every intention of posting first thing today, but one thing leads to another, and here we are, Friday night, finally getting this done.
I just wanted to add a few things to yesterday's post, which was more about the photos I took on my Nokia N90. Oh, and thanks Jeff - he was nice enough to cite my post on his blog this morning.
Here I'm just going to add some observations along with a few other things. First off, in terms of overall impressions, it was tough to gauge the experience. It was certainly a good show, but there were a number of distinct tracks, especially video, and for one person, it's impossible to see it all. In short, I liked what I saw, but really have no idea about the rest.
I'm sure the video content was very good, but for a guy like me, between briefings, biz dev, the occasional walk around the floor, doing some Pulvermedia podcasts and videocasts, and covering all the basic VoIP/telecom stuff that I need to do --- you get the idea. Oh, and yeah, steal some time to see the odd keynote and panel - plus speaking on one myself. There's just not any time left for all the other good stuff. I'm sure I'm not alone on this one. That's one variation of the VON blur Jeff likes to talk about.
So, what did I see? The first two keynotes - Jeff and Ted Leonsis. Aside from what I covered yesterday, I'll just add a few thoughts. These things have been blogged to death already, and it's old news by now, so I'll be brief. Hopefully I'm adding things you haven't seen yet. And if not, just move on to the rest of this post....
Jeff did his usual recap of how we got to this point with VoIP, but then used this to provide context for what's happening now in the broadcast sector. Aside from the reference I made yesterday to SecondLife, he cited other examples to make his point. One was a trailer for the film Ghost Rider - but this one was produced for the Internet, and watching it on the monitors, it was every bit as good as what you would see in the theater. This really got his point across that IP-based video is broadcast quality, and largely explains why it's so disruptive now. Another reality check was Jeff's reference to a recent blog posting of his showing 88 different sources that are broadcasting TV content over the Internet today. With so much content freely available this early in the game, things are happening quickly, and hats off to Jeff for trying to make sense of it all at this show. Building on lessons learned from the disruptive nature of VoIP on the telecom space, there were two sage takeaways from Jeff's keynote:
1. In Jeff's words, the question just begs to asked: "who starts the Vonage of TV?".
I didn't hear any answers, but you just know it's going to happen. Jeff noted you don't need ANYTHING to become an IP-based broadcast disruptor. You don't need a network, you don't need endpoints, and you don't even need content. The pieces are all out there, just waiting to be put together into something that works in a Broadcast 2.0 kind of way. It could be you, it could be me, or could be a high school geek. A few years back, this was Jeff's message at VON. It was us - the people in the room who had the opportunity to be innovators and disruptors with VoIP. It's safe to say that this turned out to be true for several people out there - and now it's time to do it again for broadcasting. Any takers?
2. Regulation will come to Broadcasting 2.0 - not if, but when. As with telecom, when the key stakeholders feel the pain, they will fight back to protect their turf. Hollywood is not oblivious to what VoIP is doing to the incumbents, and they've had a few scares already watching how the music business is being transformed before their eyes. Jeff's parting thoughts on this are exactly what he has been saying about telecom for years now - "don�t let the threat of regulation get in the way of innovation". Absolutely.
AOL's Ted Leonsis gave a really engaging keynote, and boy, was it well produced! Of course, if you were in his position at AOL, would you be doing things any differently? While a lot of mass marketing caters to the lowest common denominator, Ted has vision, and if anybody understands the essence of the mainstream Internet community, it's AOL. I've always felt that way, and what I saw in this keynote reaffirmed my long-held hunch that AOL has the raw DNA to make Web 2.0 real. Sure, their execution over the years has been off at times, but now is what matters. Take this very simple statement from his presentation - the success of Web 2.0 will be about "taking the things you need and transforming them into the things you love".
Pretty basic, but profound stuff. Sure, it's a bit like Big Brother, or learning to love the bomb, but the Internet generation is defined by the Web, and we're at a point now where almost every facet of our life can be expressed or experienced online. This is WAY more powerful than any medium before the Web, all of which are static, and uni-directional. Seeing all the neat stuff AOL has going today, you look at them and say yeah, they get it.
He demonstrated many examples of Internet driven content catering to all types of tastes, and stressed another basic point - "the Internet makes things better". One great example was showing how most search pages are text-based. He then showed a Web 2.0 version of search, with Madonna as the topic. This search was far richer, turning up all kinds of multimedia references that make plain text search look very dull. Similarly, he cited the quality of content from Wikipedia, which is far more engaging for learning about things than using traditional sources. He gave other examples as well, but I think you get the idea.
Finally, to pull it all together, he touched on the validity of an advertising-driven business model to make this work. He noted that the broadband technology/bandwidth is ready now, and so is consumer demand. Much like television, the time is right for an ad-driven medium to take form. That basic idea went off in my head right away, and has stuck with me ever since. While we're talking about the Internet and Broadcast 2.0 - it's really just television all over again. We watch it for free, and the price of admission is the advertising. Pretty simple formula, and we'll soon find out if it works. I think we'll also find out pretty quick if it stays pure, and the content remains independent from the whims of the advertisers. I'm not so sure, but time will tell.
Just one more thing to comment about - the question everyone seems to ask - what did I see that was new or different? Geez - there's a lot I didn't see, and I'll just cite the ones I saw. I don't have the energy now to comment on each one, and instead urge you to visit their websites and see for yourself - and then you can come back to me and we'll go from there. Fair?
In no particular order, but there's a lot of wireless and WiFi here... Truphone (see Martin Geddes's post for more), Fonav, TalkPlus, Paragon Wireless, RingCentral, and Pika Technologies.
And.... just in case you need to know more, the usual suspects have written numerous posts, and they're all worth reading, especially Andy Abramson, Jim Courtney (Skype Journal), and Alec Saunders and Brough Turner.
That's enough for now. I have more, but will put it on the next post...

Fall VON - Photo/Video Highlights
Am back from Fall VON now, and have not had much chance at all to blog. Got a bunch of things coming, and this is the first one up. I'm just doing photos and a Herding Cats video clip here - really to showcase the Nokia N90, since it doubles as my camera/camcorder when I travel. More posts coming tomorrow - just too tired to do anything else right now!
Two ways to make yourself look larger than life - me and my shadow, and Jeff on one of the big video monitors during his keynote on Tuesday. It's ok for Jeff to be larger than life here - it was his birthday!
Jeff doing his keynote, and one of his slides about how voice is really just an Internet application. Much of his keynote focused on how video is no different with IP, and that the same disruption we saw with voice is happening now with video.
Jeff gave several examples of how video and broadcasting are quickly becoming Net-centric. He's just gotten into Second Life, and here's a shot of avatars watching Jeff present in his virtual world call Pulveria. The really cool thing is that Jeff actually conversed with one of these avatars in real time during his preso, which all of us could see and hear. For those of you who need something more that what real life has to offer, this is a pretty neat way to put your imagination to work in a virtual world.
Ted Leonsis, Vice Chairman of AOL probably gave the most dynamic presentation of the show, and really opened us up to some of the cool things that AOL is offering today, as they try to take Web 2.0 mainstream. While not quite the 10 Commandments, here are his 7 "web virtues" for success in this space. He's good!
Other stuff of note. First, Iotum's screen interface at the AIM PhoneLine booth. They are one of the developers being showcased by AIM at the show. Second photo - the VON youth brigade - a panel called "Next Generation Networking - Literally". Some of these guys aren't old enought to drink yet, but they sure know what works in the Web 2.0 world.
The blogger's panel - moderated by Alec Saunders, and joined by Jeff Pulver, Andy Abramson, Dan York, Martin Geddes, Brough Turner, and remotely via SightSpeed, Om Malik.
If there's a sacred cow in Boston, it's my Red Sox. What a cool idea. If you must see this for yourself, it's in the lobby of the Marriott in Copley Square. Love the hat and the shoes!
Time to move on to the party last night. Got some good photos - and lots of bad ones, plus a video clip down below. If you haven't seen the Herding Cats, you're missing the most fun band around, and they've become a staple at Jeff's parties.
Oh, and if you like this, and want to see more Herding Cats photos and video clips, you'll enjoy my post about their show at Globalcomm this summer.
If you've seen the finale of their show, you'll know what song this is. The water spraying up from the drums is a great effect they use during Whole Lotta Love. I'm wondering if anyone out there noticed a subtle lick they managed to work in while they were grooving along on this song. It was a short take on Cream's Spoonful, which I picked up right away, being a Clapton afficianado. I just loved that one - anyone else out there catch that? I hadn't heard that one before - nice twist.
Finally, here's my video clip of their take on Bon Jovi via my Nokia N90 - very fun. Gotta love YouTube...

XConnect and iPeerX Join Forces
This is my first chance to blog at Fall VON, and just have time to cover this one. I'll be posting later about the keynotes from this morning by Jeff Pulver and Ted Leonsis of AOL.
Lots of interesting news releases at VON, and I wanted to comment on one I have had some history with. Today, the XConnect Alliance announced its acquisition of iPeerX. This is good news for the VoIP peering space, as XConnect moves further along the path to creating critical mass. VoIP peering has not yet become a necessary condition for carriers to succeed with IP, but slowly, the value proposition is becoming more relevant for carriers.
Both companies have had modest success signing up carriers to peer with them, but XConnect has been able to take their vision further, and are better positioned to become a consolidator. They have already shown this with an earlier acquisition of German-based e164.info in May.
Consolidation is happening across the board in the IP space, and peering is no exception. Peering is very much a volume business, and platforms such as the XConnect Alliance need to keep building their track record to demonstrate proof of concept especially for the Tier 1s, who will be the last to join the party. That�s when VoIP peering will really become exciting, but to get there, the foundation must be built among the willing and able, which for now, are primarily Tier 2/Tier 3 carriers with a strong commitment to IP.
The details of this deal are just as interesting as the bigger picture. XConnect founder and CEO Eli Katz announced the acquisition at a press conference this morning, and joining him was Kingsley Hill, who was President of iPeerX. Kingsley will now take on strategic business development for the multi-lateral peering federation XConnect is trying to build among it members. Between these companies, there are over 300 carriers on board, with the world�s largest VoIP ENUM registry � over 8.5 million active subscriber numbers. As such, there is definitely a strong base to build from here.
VON followers would know that iPeerX is a Jeff Pulver initiative that has been following its own course until now. This move makes sense for them, as it keeps them in the game, and it seems clear that the better route is to be part of a bigger pie than trying to keep a smaller slice to yourself � especially since there will only be room for a couple of players once this market goes mainstream. IPeerX hasn�t yet secured a large-scale win like the one XConnect achieved with the Dutch cable VoIP providers � so better to go with the flow, and help build this momentum. Jeff, who is never far from the center of where IP is going, will remain involved as a member of XConnect�s Advisory Board.
Disclosure � I am an Advisor to XConnect, and have tried to present this news as objectively as possible. If you feel I have overlooked or omitted anything of note, I welcome your comments.

Pre-VON Reading
Just a quick note before signing off for Fall VON. I've had two articles just published - one solo for Telemanagement Magazine, and one co-written with Danny Klein of Vesbridge for Telecommunications Magazine. Thought I'd share them here for reading before the conference.
So, if you're interested in a couple of quick reads on things I'm writing about, you can find them in the Articles section of my website. Any feedback is appreciated!

AIM Phoneline Story - Bloggers Have the Real Deal
I just wanted to quickly comment that some bloggers have correctly noted that the best coverage on AIM's Phoneline Developer Program news has come from the blogs, and not the mainstream business media. I was hinting at that yesterday, and maybe people picked up on that. Regardless, it's pretty clear that in this instance, the blogger community is far more plugged into what the story really means - not just at face value, but for the bigger picture we call Voice 2.0.
On this count, I especially wanted to cite posts from Alec Saunders and Jeff Pulver. Alec's post is particularly good because he points out how poor the coverage was from CNET, including their not being aware that TotalTalk had been shelved.
There are many well informed bloggers in this space who write well, and with a lot of valuable insight. In time, scenarios like this will become too frequent that big media will need to re-think their sources and start paying more attention to the blogger community. In the end, readers will be better served, and that's really the most important thing here. So, I'd chalk this one up as another W in the blogger win column!

Canadian IP Thought Leaders Series - NewStep and FMC
This week's podcast was with Kevin McCracken, NewStep Networks's Director of Product Management. NewStep is based here in Toronto, and is a Bell Canada spinoff, now making their mark in the FMC space. Kevin and I talked about the current trends in FMC, and how it is gaining good traction in a pre-IMS environment. We also compared market conditions between U.S. and Canadian wireless opeators and how that impacts their FMC plans.
You can download the podcast here, as well as read more about Kevin and NewStep Networks.
FYI - I'll be at Fall VON next week, and my regular podcasts will resume the week after, with Vonage Canada being my scheduled guest. I'm hoping to do a podcast or two from the show floor at VON, so I should have something in the podcast bin next week for those need their weekly podfix.
