I’ve been involved with web sites since the Internet first went graphical in 1993, and I built one of the first analog telephone handsets to operate with voice over the Internet. I remember testing the system between California and Alabama, running numerous sound tests and packet tests over dialup. When we developed a cordless phone that interfaced with a sound card we thought we were on to something big. Later we used prototype software from IBM called Bamba Phone – and we actually had video phones in 1998. (see more about Bamba)

My work as a technician, and later as a field service engineer, gave me the opportunity to work with technology I enjoy. I have a business degree with a specialty in Management of Technology, combined with post-graduate work in Educational Technology Leadership. Factor in a twenty-five year career in the electronics field and six more years as a contractor and it was time to change over to a new endeavor as webmaster and VoIP geek.

Things have changed so much over the years, but actually it has only been about ten years since the early VoIP days. Since then those of use here at Live Phone Networks studied VoIP and never lost a passion for the technology. We like to think we’ve helped others and we’ve gathered data from all over the world.
