Good morning, and good luck

All good things must end, they say, and it's not without a little bit of sadness that I write my final editor's note for FierceVoIP. I've had an excellent time and learned so much from all my conversations with you, and I look forward to continuing our relationship in my new endeavor. Shoot me an email or give me a call, and I'll fill you in. I'll be exploring the transition from TV to online video, and from other forms of media to IP-based ones, and what these changes mean for communicators seeking to impart their message to different audiences. If you have an opinion or experience in this area, please get in touch.

I'd also like to introduce everyone to the new Editor of FierceVoIP, Mike Dolan.  Mike is a seasoned editor who is ready to take on a new challenge and hone his writing skills delivering you daily updates on happenings in IP communications. He's worked with Fierce for the past two years, editing and writing at various times for many of the wireless publications.

He'll bring that experience to coverage of this space, which I believe is in the middle of a very interesting transformation as voice becomes commoditized and people search for the next growth area. Will it be SIP trunking? HD Voice? Will unified communications finally live up to the hype?

I'm not sure, but you can count on Mike to deliver all the news that informs that progression, and I hope you give him a warm welcome and help him as he gets a grasp of the industry. Mike prefers to be contacted initially by email at mike@fiercemarkets.com. Let him know your company's plans for Q4 and what you do in the space for background.

I've enjoyed my time writing this publication immensely, and I would like to thank Fierce for the opportunity and all my wonderful contacts and sources for their support and guidance.

I look forward to keeping an eye on all of the innovative companies in the space, albeit from a different vantage. Take care.
