I was noticing that the group of VoiP blogs I monitor daily seemed kind of quiet this morning, and I also realized that the steady stream of press briefing email requests I’ve been getting the past few weeks has (finally) slowed down to a trickle. And then I realized the probable reason, it’s a travel day for many in the telcom industry as people make their way out to San Jose for this week’s Spring VON conference. (If the number of briefing requests can be seen as in indication of the size of an event, this one is going to be massive!)

For those attendees looking for some cold weather relief in our supposedly sunny California this week, don’t count on it. It’s been unseasonably cold here in northern California recently, and San Jose is no exception, where they’ll be lucky to break 60 degrees this week, and the lows will be in the low 40s. Brrrr.

I expect this really is a calm before the storm as I know many vendors plan to make announcements at VON this week, and I think we’ll see the VoIP news cycle really kick into high gear in the next couple of days. I’ll be making my way down to the show later this week and will report back on the most innovating and interesting developments I find there.
