Seldom do these distinct communities have the luxury to sit down in a room to share their respective visions and to hammer out their differences. For the second time this year, the leading lights of communications and the Internet have agreed to come together for a unified IP-based communications Summit. The Peripheral Visionaries' Summit is an effort to bring to the table all sides with a stake in IP, to find our common ground and to determine where we go from here, so that the future of communications can be what it should be ... a win-win for all.
