Press Coverage
Quoted
in The Wall Street Journal, July 8, 2004: VOIP "destroys
the area-ness of area codes," says David Isenberg, an independent
telecom analyst in Cos Cob, Conn.
Quoted
in the Seattle Times (AP), June 14, 2004: [Isenberg
says that Bush administration decisions against UNE-P, favoring the
Bells are] "kind of like a lobster dinner for a dying patient."
Quoted
in the San Jose Mercury News, June 11, 2004: "In
the short term, it's a little bit bad for consumers,'' said David
S. Isenberg, an independent telecom analyst in Connecticut who spent
12 years at AT&T Bell Labs before founding his own firm, isen.com.
"In the longer term, it's completely irrelevant. And by long
term I mean not very much longer. The Internet is going to kill the
telephone companies.''
Quoted
in the Wall Street Journal, October 9, 2003: "[VoIP]
destroys the incumbent telephone-company business model," says David
Isenberg, founder of Isen.com, an independent telecom-analysis firm
based in Cos Cob, Conn. A former Bell Labs researcher, he wrote a
widely read paper, "The Rise of the Stupid Network," in 1997 that
predicted many of the current Internet-phone trends.
