Venturing in VoIP

PROGRAM SPONSORS

The Caltech-MIT Enterprise Forum presents a program on venturing in Voice over Internet protocol, or VoIP. The program features a keynote address on VoIP from Jeff Pulver, President and CEO of pulver.com. Mr. Pulver is one of the true pioneers of the Internet telephony/VoIP industry, and pulver.com was the recent recipient of a favorable landmark Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision declaring Free World Dialup as an unregulated information service. This landmark decision by the FCC is the first and only decision it has made on IP communications to date, now referred to as "the Pulver decision."

Our program will explore the technology behind VoIP, explore the public policy arena, both nationally and internationally, and discuss the Pulver decision, and the FCC's signaling that it is not interested in over-regulating VoIP, thus making it a prime opportunity for entrepreneurial activity. We will also hear from a strong panel representing other companies venturing in VoIP, and will learn some do's and don'ts from experienced entrepreneurs.
