Internet Telephony Magazine Announces 1999 Product Of The Year Winners

The editors of Internet Telephony® magazine are pleased to announce the 1999 winners of the Product of the Year award. The award is designed to honor innovative products and services that have contributed to the growth of the Internet telephony industry. 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.

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. The list gives a broad overview of the many product categories in the industry, and can serve as a starting point for those just beginning to research the benefits of Internet telephony. It is also a sorting point for those more familiar with the market, interested in trialing some of the top offerings. The fact that we have nearly 40 categories and more winners than last year is a testament to the amazing growth in this industry. We have chosen to award products and services that made an impression on our editors -- and in the marketplace.

"The Internet Telephony Product of the Year award allows us to honor exemplary products across a broad span of the marketplace," said TMC president and group publisher Rich Tehrani. "As the industry matures, we're finding more than just products and services on the market -- entire solutions are being offered. We are pleased to honor the Product of the Year winners today, as they lay the groundwork for the next generation of global telecommunications."

Winners are listed on the TMCnet.com Web site at www.tmcnet.com/it/99itpoty.htm.
