Ever wonder where Tommy Lee (News - Alert)ended up? Turns out he was recently spotted on snom's road show at the ACUTA Conference & Exhibition in San Antonio.

No, we're not talking about the drummer for Motley Crue (or at least we don't think we are!). Rather, we're talking about the chronicles of a senior snom official who is taking the company's VoIP phones on the road.

'snom IP phones are ideal in the higher education marketplace for both SIP and OCS Unified Communication platforms because they operate in PC, Mac and mixed environments,' Lee explained. 'Providing this level of flexibility will enable universities to preserve their endpoint investment no matter which way they decide to upgrade.'

The snom Americas team later went to Los Angeles as part of the same road show, and were seen at The Cable Show in Los Angeles, an exhibition for the entire cable television ecosystem including content providers in the world of entertainment (television and movie producers and executives), multi-service operators (MSOs), and technology providers (infrastructure, equipment and applications).

Company officials say snom attended The Cable Show to showcase its executive IP phones for the business voice services market. 'With operators increasingly searching for new revenue streams, business voice services including hosted VoIP, IP PBX (News - Alert), and unified communications applications are becoming an ever-increasing part of the MSO's service offering,' they noted.

Of course, VoIP over a cable infrastructure isn't entirely new, snom officials concede, explaining that it's back in the spotlight thanks to the MSOs' 'accelerating adoption of SIP trunking for delivering voice services to enterprise and small business customers.'

For cable companies, the interoperable snom SIP phones are the 'set top boxes' for business voice communications from telephony to unified communications to CRM services, company officials said.

Now, if you're wondering what happened to Pamela Anderson - the other Tommy Lee's ex-wife - do a Hulu (News - Alert)search for 'Dancing with The Stars.' Turns out the Baywatch starlet was voted off a few weeks ago.
