<title><![CDATA[Per Björklund, Efftel, with Carl Ford]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
  As is the usual in Carl Ford's podcasts, this conversation with Per Björklund from Efftel covers a lot of ground, from Sweden's place in the high-tech world, to mainstream acceptance/adoption/understanding of VoIP services, to the ever-decreasing price of phone calls and the resulting focus on flexibility and features rather than simple dialtone for Efftel.   Per Björklund founded Efftel in 2004 together with Håkan Lund. Efftel (www.efftel.com/english.htm) is a rapidly growing service provider and operator delivering complete and extremely flexible VoIP solutions to small and medium enterprises in Northern Europe. Prior to founding Efftel, Per had over 13 years senior telecoms and venture capital experience from e.g., Telia and Telenor. Already in 1997 he initiated and managed Telia Light AB, Telias pioneering VoIP spear head company publicly launched at VoN 1998 in San José. He then as the VP Products had the P/L responsibility for Telia/Telenors 4 Bn EUR consumer services portfolio. After 9 years at Telia, he was a Director and co-owner of the Nordic VC Startupfactory for three years and then spent a year on the build-up of Swedens fastest growing and 4th largest mobile operator Telenor/djuice as the Product Portfolio Director.   Per holds an MSEE from the Royal Institute of Technology and an MBA from the Stockholm School of Economics. He has contributed as a speaker to several VoN conferences from 1998 and onwards. In his spare time, Per chairs the VoIP Section of the 27.000 member Swedish Computer Society, that was proud having Jeff Pulver as their guest speaker a month ago.  Catch up with Per and others from the Efftel team at Von Europe Spring.

<title><![CDATA[Exhibiting at Spring VON 2007: technoCo]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
 Carl Ford spends a few minutes with Rick Spielrein from technoCo chatting about their first product, the Vdex 40.   TechnoCo was founded by pioneers of the voice over Internet (VoIP) industry. Their previous company, Ozemail Interline, was the first in the world to provide Internet telephony (VoIP) to the public on a global basis. In fact, The Honourable Paul Keating (ex Prime Minister of Australia) released the OzEmail Interline VoIP services at a media event in Australia on the 16th January 1997.  Identifying a need and opportunity to empower small and medium developers who require specialised hardware platforms in order to bring their software products to market, Howard and Spielrein created "TechnoCo".  TechnoCo's first product is Vdex, a telephony platform that provides the necessary electronics to run the popular Asterisk PBX open-source software. Vdex is a highly sophisticated, hybrid telephony platform integrating multiple microprocessors and multiple digital signalling processors with numerous industry-standard voice codecs and telephone line interfaces.   Please visit technoCo on the web at technoco.biz, at VON at booth #751.

<![CDATA[
  Welcome to the first of what will be a weekly series of podcasts from our own Carl Ford.  What makes this different than the podcasts we've been doing with Carl in the past is that it's produced in a slightly more show-ish way.  Segments and everything.  Believe it.  So the whole deal will usually clock in (we hope) between 30 and 45 minutes, and will regularly feature PulverMedia's own Rich Erb with a look at the market in our space, conversations between Carl and myself, and interviews with guests from all over the community.  The entire show is available for download by clicking the "podcast" button above, and the segments are available individually by clicking the times in the rough syllabus provided below.  (There's a more detailed description of the content on Carl's blog.)  0:00 - Intro, Xbox360 IPTV, iPhone, Samsung and Qualcomm MediaFLO  15:13 - Who's on the move?  20:27 - Rich Erb on the market  26:28 - Link Hoewig from Verizon (poliblog.verizon.com)  38:07 - Wrap-up (Google is evil???)  Stay tuned...

<title><![CDATA[Hjalmar Winbladh, Chief Executive Officer at Rebtel / Carl Ford]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
  We're a group of mobile technology experts based in Sweden and Luxembourg. Rebtel is an innovative company focused on bringing you the future of mobile telephony. Were here to help you make cheaper, better, and easier calls to the world  global calls at local rates. Our ethos is that we wont promise what we cant deliver, and that well always deliver what we promise.  Carl Ford spoke with Hjalmar Winbladh, the Chief Executive Officer at Rebtel.   Hjalmar is a highly successful serial entrepreneur. He co-founded Rebtel because he wanted to use his wealth of mobile Internet expertise to start a revolution in international mobile calling.  Prior to co-founding Rebtel, Hjalmar was a strategy consultant and entrepreneur-in-residence at Investor AB, providing counsel for investments in the mobile/fixed convergence arena. Hjalmars stint at Investor was his way to ease back into the corporate life after three years spent with his family, including two years sailing across the Pacific and Indian oceans in 20032004.  What precipitated Hjalmars sabbatical was his seven years of co-founding Sendit AB, a company based on a vision to bring new, disruptive mobile Internet software platform technologies to the projected convergence market between mobility and the Internet. Hjalmar served as president and chief executive officer of Sendit, and successfully took it public before being aquired by Microsoft for $150 million USD. Following the Microsoft acquisition, Hjalmar remained for two years as general manager of Microsofts Mobile Internet Business Unit. A highlight during his Microsoft tenure was playing a central role in creating telecom alliances for Microsoft with Ericsson and Vodafone.  www.rebtel.com

<title><![CDATA[Dan Hoffman, M5 Networks, with Carl Ford]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
 M5 Networks is one of the country's leading outsourced IP phone system providers. Trustworthiness is at the heart of M5's philosophy and business model. By outsourcing to M5 instead of buying another phone system and signing more local and long distance contracts, businesses save valuable time and hard dollars. M5 was founded in 2000, and since inception has been entirely focused on delivering the most reliable business phone system service in the industry.   M5 is continually innovating to improve our outsourced phone system solution. M5s core technology partners include Cisco, Verizon, Sun, AboveNet, Sprint, Qwest, Focal Communications and VocalData. M5 has been named to the Pulver 100 list for four consecutive years (2002-2005), VoIP Magazines 20 Companies to Watch in 2006, and FierceVoIP's Fierce 15 list in 2005 and has received Frost & Sullivan's 2004 Entrepreneurial Company Award and the 2004 & 2005 VoIP Service Provider Award and Best SMB Provider Award from INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine. In addition, the strong demand for M5 services has enabled M5s management team to run the business conservatively, regularly reinvesting profits and maintaining financial stability.   Carl Ford spoke with Daniel Hoffman, President & CEO of M5 Networks.  As President and CEO of M5, one of America's leading Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers for small and midsized businesses, Hoffman has redefined the business phone system market by replacing traditional phone systems and phone company arrangements with an outsourced VOIP solution that businesses truly trust.  Personable, approachable and a true visionary, Hoffman was named one of 18 nationwide winners of the 2006 Best Bosses Award by Winning Workplaces, a nationally known clearinghouse for best practices in workplace excellence and innovative people practices, and FORTUNE Small Business. This national honor recognizes the most dedicated, passionate, innovative, inspirational and driven leaders of small and midsize businesses nationwide for creating tightly knit workplaces and inspiring intensely loyal workers.  Dan will be at Von Enterprise:  Hosted Voice Solutions  Wednesday, December 6, 2006, 2:30pm - 3:30pm  There is a clear trend for many companies to outsource, especially technologies and infrastructure they believe can be more efficiently managed elsewhere.   What is the best model to determine if outsourcing is the right approach?  Which technologies lend themselves best to this approach?  What are the ramifications if outsourcing fails?  www.m5net.com
