TelcoBridges Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Pulver Order, Growth of VoIP Telecommunications Innovation

The Pulver Order, issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2004, order marked a pivotal shift in the evolution of digital communication

Montreal, Canada - January 12, 2024 - TelcoBridges, a leading designer and manufacturer of carrier-grade VoIP media gateways and session border controller software, is proud to announce its sponsorship and participation in the 20th anniversary of the landmark Pulver Order, a special event celebrating two decades of groundbreaking advancements in the telecommunications industry. The event, to be held at the National Press Club in Washington on Monday, February 12th, 2024, will bring together industry leaders, visionaries, and rising stars to commemorate the Order’s legacy and chart the course for the future of connectivity.

The Pulver Order, issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2004, order marked a pivotal shift in the evolution of digital communication, catalyzing the growth of voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP) services, as the order established VoIP as an unregulated information service subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction. This pivotal decision paved the way for increased competition, innovation, and ultimately, more affordable and accessible telecommunications services for consumers.

“TelcoBridges is deeply honored to support and participate in the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Pulver Order,” said Alan Percy, CMO at TelcoBridges. “Having recently celebrated 20 years since the founding of TelcoBridges, the company has benefited tremendously from the growth of VoIP adoption and the impact of the Pulver Order.”

The event will feature a panel discussion with the trailblazers who were crucial to this revolutionary decision. Key figures include:

• Jeff Pulver, the visionary founder of VON and Vonage, whose foresight and advocacy were instrumental in creating the Pulver Order.
• Michael Powell, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission from 2001 – 2005, whose leadership and support were pivotal in realizing the Pulver Order. Powell, now the President & CEO of NCTA – The Internet & Television Association, continues to be a leading voice in federal digital and telecommunications policymaking.
• Attorney Glenn Richards, a legal luminary from Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman, whose expertise in telecommunications law helped navigate the complexities of this groundbreaking regulation.
