Wow!, is all I can say. After nearly 20 hours in labor, one healthy and happy Kyler Christen Lagerway finally decided to make his appearance on June 29 at 6:19pm PST. Weighing in at 7 pounds, 11 ounces and cute as a button, if I don’t say so myself 😉

With the recent rulling on mandatory E911 for providers touching the PSTN Level 3 is leveraging their recent E911 solutions and are filling a gap..

“Since the FCC issued its recent order on E-911 for VoIP, we have seen a significant increase in interest from customers looking for a path to compliance with the FCC’s rapid implementation requirements,” said Sureel Choksi, executive vice president of services for Level 3. “Having deployed extensive E-911 infrastructure over the course of the past eighteen months, Level 3 is in a unique position to assist our customers in meeting the FCC’s requirements, and we believe these enhancements will further extend our leadership position as a network partner for VoIP providers across the industry.”

With the press release that went out yesterday I have received a number of phone calls and emails, including some blog posts, thanks Om and Tom. For clarification, I resigned as the President and COO, Mark Bruk resigned as CEO but remains as Chairman. Larry Timlick is the President and new head-honcho at Xten.

Some of you are asking what my plans are now that I have resigned. My plans at current are to continue consulting to the company until such time that the company or I feel my presence is no longer required there, when that will be is anyone’s guess. I will continue to maintain my blog and report on whatever I think will have an impact in the IP communications sector.

If you want to know more just ping me.

Here dawns the day of a new era for Xten. I have stepped down as president of Xten to make way for the next phase of growth in the company. I think Larry will do a marvelous job and certainly is a capable sales oriented executive, exactly what Xten needs. I welcome Mr. Timlick with open arms and I will continue to assist in any way I can as a consulting co-founder of the company.
