| About |
Lee S. Dryburgh is a person-to-person communications technologist and visionary. His first love was the telephone and in his early 20’s he wrote the best selling book on the SS7 telecommunication protocol suite (published by Cisco Press). He has spent his entire career working in engineering departments in 30+ countries and in 13+ States for major telecom operators and vendors. Noticing the displacement of the telephone and the increasing disconnect between operators and their customers, he embarked upon a Cisco sponsored engineering doctorate focusing on enabling conversation between relevant strangers. Being unhappy about a large demographic void in the conference space, he created eComm.

As many of you know, I'm launching the Emerging Communications (eComm) conference -- taking place next month in Silicon Valley, at the Computer History Museum. Communications innovation has been stagnant, in my opinion, for nearly a decade. Telecommunications and Internet communications both seem to be at somewhat of an impasse. The communications industry needs a forum to help break through the stagnancy and highlight the huge opportunity space that is emerging. The stagnancy has been strikingly more so in telecommunications... more
