Jon Arnold's Blog Included in Guy Kawasaki's Alltop VoIP Blogs - July 9, 2008
Alltop's VoIP Blogs was launched in July 2008, and Jon Arnold's Blog is included in this group of top blogs on VoIP. Aside from my blog, this site is a great resource for other VoIP blogs worth following.
Jon Arnold's Blog Included in VoIP Now's Top 100 Telecom Blogs - May 7, 2008
VoIP Now has included my blog in their list of Top 100 Telecom Blogs, so I've been getting my fair share of recognition lately. The top 100 blogs are grouped into 8 categories, of which VoIP is the biggest, and that's where my blog can be found. Here's what they had to say about my blog:
"Arnold is an independent analyst/consultant focused on the IP communications sector, based out of Toronto, Ontario. Before he began this stint as the principal of J. Arnold & Associates, he was the VoIP Program Leader at the industry analyst firm, Frost & Sullivan. So, as he says, he’s “had a good run in this space since its coming of age.” Arnold’s blog proves that he is one of the most authoritative voices in VoIP today."
Jon Arnold's Blog Rated #1 Among Telecoms by Blogger.com - May 5, 2008

Tech Target - Ask The Expert - Unified Communications - May 1, 2008
I was recently invited by Tech Target to be part of their roster of experts, which I'm happy to do. We just started working together, and I'm fielding inquiries for their Unified Communications portal. My first Ask The Expert postings were published this week, and there are four of them on the site - here, here, here and here. To review them, you need to register - it just takes a minute, and it's free. Hope you spend some time exploring Tech Target - they have lots of great portals, and I'm looking forward to doing more of these soon.
IP Communications Insights Launches - March 11, 2008
On March 11, Marc Robins and I finally launched our venture, IP Communications Insights. Like me, Marc is an independent industry analyst/consultant, and we've both been closely covering IP communications for several years. We will continue to operate our practices - Robins Consulting Group and J Arnold & Associates - but are working as partners to build IPCI into a strong voice for independent analysis, thought leadership and industry research. You can read more about it from the press release as well.
Our portal will have a wide variety of timely and relevant content, including blogs, podcasts, industry news and a newsletter that we hope you will subscribe to. We are also launching a series of industry reports that we believe will become our trademark. Our initial studies are underway now, and we believe there is an eager market for reports that are strategic, affordable, and presented from an independent analyst perspective.
Finally, we are using the portal to educate the market about our diverse range of research and consulting services, and together, we think it's a pretty comprehensive offering. To find out more, please visit our website, and give us a call! There Skype click-to-call widgets on the site, so we won't be hard to find.
Oh - and if you like what you see, we'd love to have you as an advertiser or sponsor!

Service Provider Views Column Debuts on TMCnet - January 16, 2008
Today marked the launch of a bi-monthly column I'll be writing for TMCnet, the world's most visited site on the Web for the IP communications sector. The column is titled Service Provider Views, and will feature various perspectives about this space, not just from me, but from readers as well. I really hope to bring some thought leadership to the topic, and would love to hear your thoughts.
My first article is titled "What is a Service Provider?", and you can read it here. For reference, there's a press release announcing the column, as well as welcome comments from both Rich Tehrani and Greg Galitzine of TMC. Thanks for the good words, guys, and I look forward to setting the bar high for your readers.
IP Convergence TV Web Portal Launches - October 25, 2007
IP Convergence TV is an industry-based web portal focused on IP Convergence, and particularly VoIP, IPTV, FMC and IMS applications. The portal has been developed to become a focal point of thought leadership and high quality content to help service providers better understand how they can effectively adopt convergence technologies.
I'm involved in this initiative and serve as the Portal Editor and Community Advocate. It's a pretty engaging role, and my job is keep the content on target, and I'll be making regular contributions of my own. I should point out that this is a non-profit site. The core content is contributed by a charter group of sponsors, led by Comverse. That said, we are also drawing from a wider pool of thought leaders, so the perspectives will be pretty broad.
I'll leave it at that for now, and would simply encourage you to visit and learn about what the portal is all about and what it has to offer. There's lots to explore, and you can sign up free for regular updates.
A press release will be issued on the launch date under my name, and we're expecting to attract a lot of interest. The portal is definitely going to evolve, and if you're following IP convergence, I'm sure you find the content and the concept of interest. Hope to see you there.
IPTV Middleware Webinar with Espial - September 18 2007
On September 18, I'll be participating on a webinar sponsored by Espial.

The webinar runs from 12 to 1pm, and registration is free. You can read more about it and register here. Hope you can make it!
New Videocast Series Launched on BlogTV.ca - Teen Tech Reviews
On May 21, JA&A's first videocast was broadcast live on BlogTV.ca. This is a unique social networking portal that carries live Web-based broadcasts across a number of "channels", and archives all the broadcasts for future viewing.
This broadcast marks the debut of our weekly series called Teen Tech Reviews, where I am the host, and each week, my son Max reviews a cool gadget or technology. The idea is to create a forum that shows how teenagers use and experience these tools. Our first segment was a review of the Nokia N800 tablet, and if you can spare 8 minutes, Max can show and tell you all about it. And for a bit more background on what we're doing, as well as what BlogTV.ca is all about, read about it here.
NOTE - the BlogTV.ca website can only be accessed in Canada. If you can't enter the site, please visit my blog and search for our reviews there. I have separate blog posts for each review, and using an embedded link, you can view them there regardless of where you're located.

About/News
I Also Have a Blog
I've been maintaining an IP communications blog since March 2005, and like all blogs, it's a work in progress. Please come visit to see what's on my mind each day, and find out which blogs I like to read.
Blogs are highly personal, so you can also read my occasional missives on my other passions, like the Red Sox, the Blues, and cinema and popular culture. For convenience, you can subscribe to any of my feeds with a simple mouse click and get them hand-delivered, so to speak.
