WASHINGTON, Aug. 13, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- FierceMarkets (www.fiercemarkets.com) today launched FierceTelecom (http://www.fiercetelecom.com), a new online publication targeting telcos and other public network service providers.
The free daily email newsletter and corresponding Web site will cover the latest news, trends, and technologies driving the telecommunications industry, with a special focus on "what's next for telcos." FierceTelecom will feature exclusive insights, commentary, and special reports on IPTV, IMS, VoIP, carrier ethernet, optical networking, fixed-mobile convergence, and other pressing issues facing telcos today.
"The company already has a strong presence in the wireless side of the telecommunications industry," said FierceMarkets President Jeff Giesea.

FierceTelecom will be edited by Dan O'Shea, former Editor-in-Chief of Telephony magazine and an industry veteran with more than 15 years covering the telecom marketplace.
"FierceTelecom is ideal for busy telco executives," said O'Shea.
