Make no apologies for voice - it still matters

This weeks Breakfast with Total Telecom briefing, 'The Future of Voice' reaffirmed for anyone who had doubts in their mind that voice is very much alive.

A packed room heard opinions from analyst and voice wholesaler, financial services, and OTT player, and all were in agreement - voice is still in rude health and isn't going anywhere soon.
