STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 2001

Well-known Internet telephony pioneer, pulver.com Chief Executive Officer Jeff Pulver, today announced a kick off news conference on June 11th for his Voice on the Net (VON) Europe conference.

The news conference will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, June 11th in Room C22 at the Stockholm International Fair in Stockholm, Sweden and will feature an introduction by Pulver analyzing the recent trends in the VoIP industry and looking ahead for the remainder of the year. Several company representatives will participate to announce their latest innovations and product offerings including companies such as Ericsson, Hotsip, Clarent, Sonus, Audibit, and Trinity Convergence.

In announcing the news conference and the importance of the VON Europe 2001 conference, Pulver emphasized that real time end-to-end IP communication is much more widely used than most people think and much more of a factor in the telecom marketplace than is commonly assumed.

"The conference points out how much packetized voice is already in use. We are in the midst of a wonderful communications revolution that will integrate communications from your wireless phone, your wire line phone, your personal digital assistant and whatever Internet access you have into a seamless service. This service can help you take advantage of your presence, your location and the ubiquity of the Internet so that you can communicate where you want, when you want and with whom you want," said Pulver.

Details on the news conference are as follows:
