Technology Marketing Corporation's INTERNET TELEPHONY� Magazine Announces 2002 "Product of the Year" Awards

Winners Singled Out for Vision, Leadership and Technologic Innovation

Norwalk, CT, December 10, 2002
The editors of Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC�) INTERNET TELEPHONY� magazine announced today this year's winners of the magazine's prestigious Product of the Year Awards. INTERNET TELEPHONY is the premier publication in the rapidly growing IP telephony industry.

INTERNET TELEPHONY editors reviewed more than 150 applications for the honor, before selecting the companies which in their view demonstrate the vision, leadership and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of Product of the Year award winners.

"The companies selected to receive INTERNET TELEPHONY Product of the Year Awards for 2002 have been instrumental in the continued growth of the IP telephony industry and we're proud to reward their hard work and innovation," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

According to Greg Galitzine, Editorial Director for INTERNET TELEPHONY, the award not only recognizes outstanding achievement, but also serves as 'buyer's guide' for IP telephony consumers. "The Product of the Year award is meant not only to honor the outstanding teams who developed and manufactured the products and services on our winning list, but also to educate our readers on the vast array of offerings in this market. Choosing the winners was a difficult process, and we spent many hours studying the applications we received from vendors, as well as looking through materials we collected on our own over the past year," said Galitzine.

Added Marc Robins, TMC's Vice President of Publications and Trade Shows, "The INTERNET TELEPHONY Product of the Year Awards are an important tradition and the perfect way for us to honor companies developing cutting-edge products and services."

The full list of Product of the Year Award winners and their products appears below and will be published in the January issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
