According to Om Malik, "Two entrepreneurs barely out of their teens, Lior Haramaty and Alon Cohen, founded VocalTec Communications in 1993 based on the promise of packet voice technology they observed as members of the Israel Defense Force.... the idea of commercializing packet voice did not occur to anyone until the arrival of Lior and Alon."[1]
