The success stories of the VoIP industry were announced in Parliament today at the 2nd annual ITSPA Awards. The ceremony was attended by over a hundred people including parliamentarians, civil servants and industry representatives.
It took place in the Strangers Dining Room of the House of Commons and was hosted by Andrew Miller MP.
The awards were presented in five categories, representing different areas of the VoIP and Unified Communications industry.
The Award Winners were:
Best Consumer VoIP – Vonage V-Plan 4i
Best Business ITSP (SMEs) – iNet Telecoms (Voipfone)
Best Business ITSP (Large Enterprise) – ntl:Telewest
Best VoIP Hardware – Polycom VVX (TM)1500

Those Highly Commended were:
Best Business ITSP category (SMEs) - Telappliant
Best Business ITSP (Large Enterprise) – Ipitomi Ltd & Voicenet Solutions
Best VoIP Hardware – Nortel: (CS 2000)

This year, technical testing by Epitiro was introduced for two of the categories - Best Consumer VoIP and Best Business ITSP (SME). Entrants for all categories also had to complete written entry forms that were independently reviewed by the ITSPA Awards judges.
Eli Katz, ITSPA Chairman, said, “I would like to congratulate the 2009 ITSPA Awards winners and finalists. It has been excellent to follow on from the inaugural awards last year with an equally competitive nomination process in 2009. Despite the tough economic conditions, residential and business customers are increasingly becoming more aware of the opportunities that VoIP can offer including cost, flexibility and new multi-media services. The testing regime again showed that VoIP can rival the PSTN for voice quality and reliability”.
