TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Oct. 7, 2004) - Winners of the Best in
Show awards were announced today at the wrap-up of the IP World Canada

Michael Sabia, President and CEO, Bell Canada Enterprises, John
MacDonald, President, Allstream, Joe Natale, EVP & President Client
Solutions, TELUS Communications and Brad Arsenault, VP, Technical

"The calibre of our sponsors and exhibitors at this year's show were
second to none," said Jake Gordon, president of show producer Jake
Gordon and Associates. "With over 400 conference delegates and over 1250
expo visitors, attendance has strongly indicated that Canadian
customers, large and small, are already starting to embrace the benefits
of IP communications within their organizations."
"This show offers a glimpse into the future of IP-based communications
and particularly those applications that will drive value in the
enterprise," said Ronald Gruia, Program Leader and Strategic Analyst,
Enterprise Solutions Communications & IT Practice. "Service providers no
longer include only the traditional telcos and enterprise vendors, but
non-traditional emerging players as well. Being able to hear from such
visionaries as Henry Sinnreich, Phil Edholm and Ibrahim Gedeon offers
customers insights into the architectural framework of the future for
communications."
