Jeff Pulver Industry Quotations

LignUp is one of the players in an industry value chain that increasingly differs from the vertically integrated telecom model of the last century. By exhibiting a focus on a networking industry model, open interfaces, open standards, and an innovative Web services based architecture, LignUp has joined a circle of companies that represent the future of IP communications.

Replacing traditional phone service has been done. Now, it's time to utilize the real power of IP communications by providing organizations with capabilities that they can customize for any application in any environment. This is a good example of how the communications industry and computing industry are colliding.

This turns the entire telecom industry picture on its head, and demonstrates that voice, presence, text messaging and other IP-based applications will be essential for the company of the future.
