Virgo Publishing Merges, Re-Launches VON/xchange

Combining two of the most dynamic and respected brands in telecom media, VON/xchange is the authoritative voice on the upheavals transforming the $2 trillion telecommunications industry. Offering hard analysis and business intelligence on both advanced IP communications and traditional telephony, VON/xchange covers IP telephony and video, unified communications, mobile and wireless, cloud-based communications, wholesale transport, software and applications, optical networking, Ethernet and cable systems — all from the operator’s point of view.

The fastest-growing media outlet in the telecommunications sector, VON/xchange serves a powerful online community of executives at service providers, developers, channel partners and enterprise users.

“Bringing together VON and xchange gives us an exciting opportunity to focus on the innovative service providers who are defining the next generation of communications technology and services,” said VON/xchange Editor-in-Chief Richard Martin. “The new VON/xchange also unites our audiences to create the most influential community of telecom executives and thought leaders.”

Founded in 1996, xchange is the authoritative source of news and insight on the business and technological shifts that service providers, from local ISPs to CLECs to major carriers, are experiencing. VON, since it was created to cover the advent of VoIP, has expanded to encompass all forms of next-generation communications services. Together they form the only online resource that speaks directly to telecommunication service provider executives. The new website also offers a range of partnership and marketing opportunities for companies wishing to reach a powerful service-provider audience.
