For regular readers, a couple of days ago there was a press release I wrote up here about a service offering from O1 Communications that's delivered using the Acme Packet's  Net-Net SBC (Session Border Controller) solution. This seemed a natural opportunity to do something a little different, so I managed to get Tyson Lutz, Director of Operations at O1 and Kevin Mitchell, Directorof Solutions Marketing at Acme Packet together on the phone to chat about what they've done.

As you listen in, I think you'll find, as I did, that both companies are doing something interesting. So I'm already staging a chance to go back and talk with both individually in the next couple of months so we can explore what they're doing in a little more depth. O1 is doing some really good things with MPLS that I think we'd all like to hear about. Acme Packet's SBC solution hits five key areas in service delivery and support that I know are important.

Please joins us and listen in on my conversation with Tyson Lutz from O1 Communications and Kevin Mitchell from Acme Packet.
