I recently popped down to Texas to chat with CEO Eric L. Pratt about his company, Taqua.

Taqua is one of a number of interesting mid-size companies that are emerging in the next gen comms market that have found way to achieve success by creating unique, pragmatic solutions that solve distinct business problems for carriers (another example is NetNumber).
Read on to get the 411 on Taqua's solution, and to hear why Istanbul might not be such a great venue for corporate events after all.
