Launched in February 1998, Internet Telephony Magazine is the longest-running publication dedicated completely to coverage of IP communications.

“Our committee looked back over the course of the last decade, and came up with 100 people who we felt should be counted among the Top 100 Voices,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC president and group editor-in-chief.  “The common thread among all of the Top 100 Voices is that they played a part in the birth, growth and maturity of the IP Communications market.”

 

In addition to being profiled in the magazine, the “Top 100 Voices” will be honored at a special reception hosted by Rich Tehrani during Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO West (Oct. 10-13, 2006) in San Diego.
