The pulver100 includes private companies in the communications sector that have substantial real-world deployments and enjoy significant growth rates. The list seeks to include the companies that represent the future of the communications ecosystem. The value chain characterized by the companies listed below differs substantially from the vertically integrated telecom model of the last century. The companies prospering in the new environment have followed the computer and networking industry model with open interfaces, connectivity decoupled from services, and software decoupled from hardware.
The pulver100 nominations will be reviewed each quarter. Send nominations to pulver100@pulver.com for consideration. The 2003 pulver100 will be announced in September, 2003.
