From the EDge

You always have to start from the beginning and this is it. As long as it doesn’t look like the end, it will be OK. I have to confess to being the father of TeleVoce, so that will be reflected here. Many years in the modem business and a longing for telephone control for real people just made it inevitable. David Isenberg’s “Rise of the Stupid Network” sealed the deal. In a flash it all came to me, or it seems so today.

Isenberg’s premise requires just a slight shift to see clearly and is easily lost on many. I describe it as the difference between standing where we are today and looking forward as opposed to looking back. I started my career in the auto industry and it was easy to quip that Detroit’s problems were a result of driving forward while looking in the rear view mirror. It is human nature and it is fuel for disruptive innovation. From my seat there is no looking back. It is valuable history, but it is history. This is part of my mission to share my unique views on the future of telephony. TeleVoce is the embodimient of that. I can’t tell all and it wouldn’t be understood anyway, but you’ll find it here, little by little.
