James Body

James Body possessed a love of chemistry and blowing things up whilst at school. Luckily, he managed to put these and a number of other disruptive skills to good use as a Regular officer in the British Army. During his 20 years service he graduated with degrees in Electronic Engineering and Design of Information Systems. After retirement from Her Majesties Service, he became a pioneer of UK based VoIP, setting up SIPCall and Gossiptel, leading UK SIP<>PSTN services. A founding member of the UK Internet Telephony Providers Association, he has championed the 'disruptive' elements of the European VoIP community. As Research Director at Truphone, he is responsible for new and exciting technologies, ranging from the handset back into the PSTN. An enthusiastic supporter of Open Source software, he sponsors the development and rapid deployment of some of the leading telecommunications applications.
