Years of Experience to U.S. and Canada’s Top Telecommunications Providers
WATSONVILLE, CA — November 30, 2006 — TOTLCOM, an industry
leader in business communications, announced today that Technology Assurance
Group (TAG), an association of independently owned telecommunication companies
representing over $300 million in annual sales, invited Sam Bishop, president
of TOTLCOM, to present on the state of the telecommunications industry at its
7th Annual TAG Convention. Mr. Bishop will share his extensive industry
expertise and company’s experiences with top telecommunications providers
located throughout the United States and Canada. TAG’s 2007 National
Convention will be held on March 7th – 9th in San Diego, California. The theme
for the upcoming year’s convention is “Communicating Through Convergence”. The
convergence of voice and data (VoIP) is reshaping the way businesses
communicate and with it comes both tremendous opportunity as well as
significant challenges. According to the Telecommunications Industry
Association and Wilkofsky Gruen and Associates, VoIP utilization in the U.S.
will rise from 6.5 million lines this year to 19.2 million by the end of 2007.
Mr. Bishop will participate in a variety of discussions exploring critical
topics surrounding VoIP such as its impact on telecommunications and the
global business environment. Telecom professionals representing voice and |
data providers, major industry manufacturers,
and trade journals will listen to Mr. Bishop offer his valuable insight. The
roundtable discussions are the most popular activity of the convention because
it’s an opportunity for open exchange of ideas and information. “It is an
honor to share our knowledge and experiences that we have gained over the
years from doing business in our local marketplace,” said Mr. Bishop. “Since
