Is the Phone Number (DID) Dead?

I had this idea to share with the world of telecom-related providers that the phone number is not dead, even though we have social networking, cell phones,email, instant messengers, and tons of unified and converged communications solutions.

So, I emailed Hugh Goldstein my idea in the form of a Power Point presentation. And ... ITEXPO West has accepted.

Topic: Voice Interconnect and Peering Conference during ITEXPO West! Visit http://www.itexpo.com/ to sign up to attend, sponsor, exhibit.

Description: As VoIP services, presence, app markets and social networking begin to merge and dominate the consumer's Internet focus, are e.164 telephone numbers a thing of the past? Evidence suggests this is far from the case, in fact, LNP and DID wholesale providers are opening up new opportunities for e.164 numbers to enable new communications services and take a key functional role in the integration of new Web communications platforms and experiences. This panel will explore the trends and opportunities, and give use cases for social networking, Video telephony and nongeographic number business and use scenarios.

Session Title: Be sure to come to the Apps & Numbers: How 3.164 Numbers are Enabling New Communications Services session at http://www.itexpo.com/.

Rod Ullens Co-Founder & CEO -Voxbone

Conference Swag that Lives on, Mobile Purses

Mobile Pouches are a Hit for Advertising

Believe me, our company has tried all kinds of swag conference giveaways from DIDX or Virtualphoneline booths at conferences around the world. Top 4 with the first one as the most popular to least.
1. Mobile pouches, useful, look great!
2. Coffee mugs
3. T-shirts
4. Pens

When we have success in any way in business, we at Super Technologies, Inc. are ready to share the idea, process, plan, or whatever it is. We believe in the open source type sharing and contribution by and among all. So... we offer to you the opportunity to order mobile pouches from our connection at Handycrafts. They are $2.99 (USD) each, but if you place the order and say that you want them to say real tiny somewhere "powered by DIDXchange" and that you heard about it either on Suzanne's Blog or the DIDX blog (say which please), then we'll cover the $2 cost and your final cost will be only $.99 cents (USD) each. They are beautiful.

You can order at sales@handycrafts.net. If you don't get an answer within one business day, message me on FACEBOOK. Click my Facebook profile in the upper-right corner of this blog.

ITEXPO West 09 Helps Exhibitors Color Coordinate

It may seem silly for me to make a big deal out of this, but I think this is smart of ITEXPO West set for Sept 1-3, 2009 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Check out their exhibitor quick refenence at http://www.tmcnet.com/voip/conference/west-2009/exhibitor-manual/w09-exhibitor-information.htm. They state right at the top that the carpet is blue and the curtains around the booths are white and blue.

Another great best practice of ITEXPO! You can sign up to exhibit, sponsor and participate in many ways, but I would say hurry because it's filling up fast and will be bigger and more meaningful for business and technical development, more than ever.

(DIDXchange is a media partner for ITEXPO West and also an exhibitor at booth 125 where you watch live demonstrations of DIDX signups, interop testing, and ... DIDx now supporting T.38!)

We ordered blue carpet and table skirts for our booth this year. For once, we'll match! :-D

Apology for the ITCN Asia 2008 Presentation, Attend 2009!

Several people have emailed me, Suzanne, did you create this power point presentation that is listed at ITCN Asia conference website?

No, I did not. It was written by someone else in my company for me to speak in my place on the keynote panel at ITCN Asia 2008. I did use this power presentation. I also have apologized many times for the typos and for the part about the accent of Chinese and Vietnamese on the English language. I have many friends from both countries who I respect very much.

I am apologizing again as I received four more requests this past week... the same... Suzanne, did you write this power point? No, I did not, and I will check all PPTs given to me for presentation in the future to edit carefully before using. I learned my lesson.

On the bright side, ITCN Asia 20009 is going to be excellent with the most powerful and innovative entrepreneurs and companies from the East and West August 3-5, 2009 at the Karachi Expo Centre! Our DIDXchange is a media partner this conference as well as a dozen other of the best conferences, trade shows, expos, and exhibitions in the world related to IT, business and IP communications.

Sign up for ITCN Asia now. Karachi is an exciting place. I have been there 7 times for one to two months at a time. Business development is waiting for you with real lucrative results. Don't miss out.

Oh, and join the networking areas on Facebook and Linkedin!

Credit Atiq Rehman with Neologism 'multichannel netvertizing'

Dear Atiq Rehman of Ecommerce Gateway who produce and manage 15 global conferences and exhibitions including the world celebrated ITCN Asia where 40,000 - 70,000 attendees mix with 125 exhibitors,

As an ex-English teacher, I love playing with words and combinations of words (also known as neologisms) in any language, and 'multichannel netvertizing' is a good one you created and shared with us today on email. We can't wait to start promoting ITCN Asia. Past ITCN Asia events have given many wonderful lifetime memories and business relationships.
Check Youtube...
18 videos created by me and others at the 2007 and 2008 event showcasing university technical and medical studies and inventions, Sami Ullah on call forwarding services, Jehan Ara's inspiration for Internet start-ups; Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in Urdu; switching from not so lucrative termination to very lucrative and empowering origination, Nortel's Aadil on Being Green, and more.

Meeting face to face at an event like ITCN Asia is worth the travel cost,
Suzanne Bowen
