by Bob Wallace
NORWOOD, MA. – Focusing on vendors whose strategies embody the business of technology, Telecommunications Magazine has announced the winners of its annual 10 Coolest Companies awards, the recipients of which will be honored at a breakfast event at the SUPERCOMM 2005 June 7-9 at McCormack Place in Chicago. The companies will also be highlighted in the magazine’s June cover story.

In keeping with the business focus, Rod Randall of Vesbridge Partners, a venture capital expert and former senior executive for several telecom vendors, will deliver the event’s keynote speech.
