In the October 2004 issue, the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine will present the winners of the first-ever INTERNET TELEPHONY VoIP Service Provider Awards. First and foremost, however, we need to discover the winners.

Winning companies will be the guests of honor at a special dinner and ceremony on Monday, October 4th, the opening night of TMC�s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, in Los Angeles.

In Search Of Excellence
We are challenging SERVICE PROVIDERS to show us � not merely tell us � how their companies� visions have delivered on the promise of EXCELLENCE for their clients in a genuine and measurable way. Service Providers should tell us how and why their Internet telephony service is winning converts from traditional circuit-switched providers. This goes for residential as well as business to business and carrier to carrier.

Tell Us A Story
For a chance to succeed and earn this coveted mark of excellence, we ask that you custom-prepare a 1,000-word essay in case study format, detailing the story of success experienced by one of your clients after implementing your company�s services. Keep in mind we would love to see actual hard data � numbers demonstrating the improvements your product has made in one of your client�s business. We�d like to hear about the number of installations or deployments of your software or services, the number of users, approximate time to deploy the solution, examples of productivity gains, which departments are affected by the installation and what problems your chosen customer example had before your solution came along. Real, verifiable data are requested, and the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY will evaluate your submissions and bestow awards based on the information you provide.

Service providers should send us subscriber numbers and rates of growth as well as market numbers supporting their application essay.

In addition to the essay, please provide us with:

� Company name
� Company contact person
� Telephone number
� E-mail address
� Web address
� Product name
� Number of installations
� Approximate number of users
� Contact name and phone number for user described in essay
