One Hundred Privately-Held Companies Representing the Future of the IP
Communications Ecosystem to Be Honored at Fall 2005 VON
MELVILLE, New York, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- pulvermedia today
announced the 2005 "pulver 100" -- which is the first and foremost listing of
privately held growth companies that represent the future of IP
communications. Each company named to the pulver 100 will be honored at the
upcoming Fall 2005 VON event, which takes place September 19-22 at the Boston
Convention and Exhibition Center.
Originally introduced in 2002, the pulver 100 features private companies
in the communications sector that have substantial real-world deployments and
enjoy significant growth rates. The value chain characterized by the pulver
100 differs from the vertically integrated telecom model of the last century,
focusing more on a networking-industry model that espouses open interfaces,
connectivity decoupled from services, and software decoupled from hardware.
"The pulver 100 has become an indicator of the leading edge in IP
communications, and the companies named to this year's list represent the
future of our industry," said Jeff Pulver, Founder and Chairman of
pulvermedia. "I'm proud to announce this year's winners, and I look forward
to honoring them at Fall VON."
