PERSUITNODIGING
Geachte persrelatie van ISOC Nederland,
bij deze nodigen we u graag uit voor de tweede editie van The Future of
VoIP - waarschijnlijk de grootste jaarlijkse niet-commerciele
conferentie rondom VoIP en andere vormen van realtime communicatie via
internet in ons land. De bijeenkomst wordt georganiseerd door de SIPSIG
van Internet Society en zal plaatsvinden op 15 maart a.s. in de
Koninklijke Bibliotheek in Den Haag.
Als organisatie achter de internetstandaarden willen we u met Future of
VoIP vanuit een internationaal perspectief een nuchtere en objectieve
kijk op de opkomende technologien en trends bieden. We hebben een
aantal bijzondere sprekers uit binnen- en buitenland weten te strikken,
en hopen dat u tijd kunt vrijmaken om er bij te zijn en er inspiratie
op te doen voor een of meerdere items of artikelen in de media waarvoor
u werkt. Door de hoge actualiteitswaarde, de breedte van het programma
(om maar een greep te nemen: P2P SIP, Fiber to the home, dual-mode
GSM/WiFi-apparaten, ENUM en open source SIP-clients) en de hoge
kwaliteit van de sprekers denken we dat daarvoor vele aanknopingspunten
zijn.
We zijn benieuwd naar uw reacties. Indien u prijs stelt op een interview
vooraf of achteraf met een van onze sprekers, dan werken we daar graag
aan mee. Neemt u hiervoor of voor het reserveren van een gratis
perstoegangsbewijs contact op met Michiel Leenaars, tel +31627050947.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Internet Society Nederland

Den Haag, 28 februari 2007
De rol van real-time communicatie via internet neemt nog steeds
toe. Inmiddels zijn er al 1.5 miljoen huishoudens die bellen via VoIP,
wordt beeldbellen (zowel mobiel als vast) steeds populairder en beter
en is met de aankomende introductie van User ENUM in Nederland de
migratie naar all-IP definitief ingezet. Zowel vanuit de gebruikers,
de leveranciers alsook vanuit de dienstverleners zoals
telecombedrijven zijn de verwachtingen hooggespannen - en
tegelijkertijd weet nog niemand met welke businessmodellen,
technologieen en diensten het uiteindelijk gaat gebeuren.
De verschillende marktkrachten die zich aan het ontwikkelen zijn in
dit veld moeten zich positioneren op basis van een goed inzicht in de
technologie en de manier waarop gebruikers er het liefst mee
omgaan. Dat bepaalt samen met het gedrag van de concurrentie de
uiteindelijke zakelijke mogelijkheden. Voor de gebruiker is het van
groot belang dat er een open infrastructuur ontstaat waarin
flexibiliteit, stabiliteit, bruikbaarheid, service en veiligheid hand
in hand gaan.
Op 15 maart 2007 organiseert ISOC Nederland voor de tweede maal haar
Future of VoIP conferentie. Leer meer over opkomende IETF standaarden
rondom P2P SIP, ENUM, open source SIP-clients, SIP op dual-mode
GSM/WiFi-apparaten, de mogelijke rol van Fiber to the home en
interconnectierproblemen tussen VoIP-eilanden. Toonaangevende
(inter)nationale sprekers zoals Thomas Anglero (Nuclei Networks), James
Body (Truphone), David Bryan (co-chair IETF P2PSIP WG, Sipeerior) en
Olaf Kolkman (directeur NLnet Labs, lid van de Internet Architecture
Board) leiden u mee langs nieuwe inzichten uit de verschillende werelden
rondom VoIP en SIP. Discussieer mee over de businessmodellen achter de
toekomstige communicatiepatronen via internet, en bepaal aan de hand
van een breed palet aan meningen uw eigen strategie - als
serviceprovider, leverancier of klant.
De conferentie wordt gehouden in de aula van de Koninklijke
Bibliotheek (Prins Willem-Alexanderhof 5) in Den Haag tussen 9.30 uur
en 17.45 uur. Deelname aan 'The Future of VoIP II kost 99 euro,
ISOC-leden betalen slecht 50 euro. De bijeenkomst wordt georganiseerd
door de ISOC.nl Special Interest Group rondom Internettelefonie en SIP
(SIPSIG).

Invitation The Future of VoIP II
15 Maart 2007, Aula Koninklijke Bibliotheek
The Hague/Den Haag (The Netherlands)
Thomas Anglero (Nuclei Networks) * James Body (Truphone) * Michel
de Boer (Twinklephone) * David Bryan (co-chair IETF P2PSIP WG,

The Hague/Den Haag, The Netherlands, February 6th 2007
The role of real-time communication via the internet is still
increasing. Currently over tens of millions of households in the
world are calling through VoIP, video telefony (both mobile and
fixed) is increasingly popular and of better quality, and the
increasing availability of User ENUM in the market is a clear
signal that the migration towards all-IP is definitely on its way. From
the user side, the vendor community and service providers expections are
sky high - yet nobody knows which business models, technologies and
services will be the ones to make it all the way to the end.
The various market forces that are developing in this field need to
position themselves on the basis of a good insight into technology and
in the way users want to interact with that technology. That,
in interaction with what the competition is doing will determine the
business opportunities. For users (and governments) it is vital that
the result is an open infrastructure where flexibility, stability,
usability, security and service go hand in hand.
On March 15th 2007 ISOC Netherlands organises the second edition of the
Future of VoIP conference. Learn more about upcoming IETF standards
around P2P SIP, ENUM, open source SIP clients, SIP on dual-mode
GSM/WiFi devices, the possible role of Fiber to the home and
interconnect issues between VoIP islands. Prominent (inter)nationale
speakers such as Thomas Anglero (Nuclei Networks), James Body
(Truphone), David Bryan (co-chair IETF P2PSIP WG, Sipeerior) and Olaf
Kolkman (director NLnet Labs, member of the Internet Architecture
Board) wil guide you along new insights from the different worlds
behind VoIP and SIP. Join us in the discussion on the business models
behind future communication patterns via internet, and determine your
own strategy on the basis of a broad spectre of opinions, visions and
experiences.
The Future of VoIP conference is organized by ISOC.nl SIP special
Interest Group on March 15th 2007. The conference will take place in the
aula of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (Prins Willem-Alexanderhof 5) in The
Hague, the Netherlands. Participation in 'The Future of VoIP II costs
99 euro, ISOC members pay only 50 euro. The conference will be held in
English.
