PhoneFromHere.com Founder to Challenge
Traditional Verbal Communication Service Models at VON.x


(San Jose, CA - March 17, 2008) PhoneFromHere.com Founder & CEO, Tim Panton will be
part of the panel session "2.0 This! - Rethinking the Service Creation Model" at
VONx. on Thursday, March 20th at 10:45 AM. Tim Panton will discuss new and creative
Web applications and together the panelists will debate what these developments mean
for traditional verbal communication service models and for the future of
communication.

"Telco's need to open their services to third party developers without forcing them
to jump through hoops because there are already very simple solutions that exist,"
said Tim Panton. "For instance, developers can be on the Web one day and have
their VoIP application up and running the next day."

Tim Panton created PhoneFromHere.com, which delivers person-to-person or
person-to-group verbal communication by turning the Web page into a handset. It
marks the first instances of enabling Web users immediate access to voice
communication without downloading any software, surrendering personal information,
or using a phone. PhoneFromHere.com provides Websites with an end-user analysis as
well as custom integration into an existing Website.

A software developer for 25 years and expert with deep technical insight on the
protocols and applications that power the Web, including: VoIP, Java, Asterisk and
Open source, Tim Panton was the technical architect behind several successful
Internet startup companies and has most recently been championing innovative
integration of voice technologies in the social networking market for
PhoneFromHere.com.
