Phone.com to Participate at COMPTEL PLUS Fall 2010 Convention & EXPO

Virtual Office for Small BusinessPhone.com announces its participation at the COMPTEL PLUS Fall 2010 Convention & EXPO taking place September 12-15 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Dallas.

COMPTEL is the leading trade association for the competitive telecommunications industry.

Phone.com’s CEO Ari Rabban will be speaking at the conference session titled “The Explosive and Disruptive Growth of SMS”. This session will be taking place on Tuesday, September 14 10:00-10:45AM and will be discussing the following:

Today SMS messaging is exploding in the United States. The number of SMS users has grown 300 percent – from 30 million to 100 million – since 2001, and the number of messages has grown from 33 million to 48 billion in the same period. Moreover, SMS is increasingly built into applications, from social networking to information services. This explosion is having a disruptive effect across industry segments. In this session, speakers will address how carriers frequently block “short codes” as a means of discriminating against specific providers or specific content/applications, the impact of unsolicited SMS messages on consumers, and how SMS is creating huge additional demand for backhaul for cellular carriers and resellers.

“COMPTEL has always been the leading event for the competitive telecom industry, and we look forward to taking part in this great conference and sharing our thoughts about the SMS market. Indeed this is an exploding market, and although some might feel it reached its peak, the truth is that it’s far from it,” stated Ari Rabban, CEO at Phone.com.
