On April 28-30, SCG will be attending the XXV Reunion Iberoamericana de Tráfico Internacional in Miami with client, NTT America.  NTT America is hosting the event in-conjunction with AHCIET, a prestigious, non-profit association of more than 50 Latin American and Spanish telecommunications operator companies.

The Miami event marks the first time that this biannual event will be held in the United States.  Influential international telecom executives from the global carrier community are joining together to identify, discuss and negotiate new global business opportunities around the growth of the Internet, particularly due to Internet traffic trends in Latin America.

TeleGeography Research recently noted that Latin America is a very attractive market for international carriers.  In fact, international Internet traffic to and from Latin America grew 120 percent in 2008, more than twice the global average.

NTT America will be joining telecom executives from companies such as Orbitel, Telefonica, XO Communications, Juniper, Amazon and NTT DOCOMO USA.

For more information, please review the NTT America event press release.

On March 19-20, SCG had the opportunity to attend the Google IPv6 Implementors Conference, which was held on the Google campus in Mountain View, California.

SCG’s client, NTT America, was speaking at the event.  SCG spent two days with IPv6 leaders and innovators from across the nation.  The purpose of the conference was to address and share IPv6 implementation experience, advice and associated research.

Joya said the Google complex was exactly like a college campus.  With volleyball courts, swimming pools, massage rooms with professional masseuses, a state-of-the-art fitness facility and a dining facility featuring complimentary food from all over the world,  it’s no wonder Google has long been viewed as one of the best places to work.

Today is the fifth anniversary of Subudhi Consulting Group, Inc. Five years ago, Joya was working as a freelance public relations consultant. After an exciting sabbatical in Amsterdam, Joya returned to her roots in Richmond, Virginia in search of a job.

In a recent interview with WORKMAGAZINE Joya said “I didn’t intend to start a business.” “One day, I realized that what I was doing to support myself while looking for a job really was my job.”

And that was the start of SCG. Five years and dozens of clients later, SCG has earned a reputable name in the high-tech PR industry.

“SCG is a company on the cutting edge,” according to the summer 2009 issue of WORKMAGAZINE. The publication reached out to Joya with an interest in featuring her in its “Innovators” section.

The full-page feature provides a background on Joya’s road to entrepreneurship and highlights her work in the high-tech industry, especially with IPv6, the next generation of the Internet. The article credits Joya with pioneering a new kind of public relations and points out that she was the recipient of the IPv6 Forum President Award for Public Relations for IPv6 Deployment.

WORKMAGAZINE is a quarterly publication focusing on career life in the Greater Richmond area. It profiles individuals in the region who “…have surmounted the odds to create new products and services or who have put a contemporary spin on existing markets.”

The IPv6 Forum announced Joya as the first recipient of the new IPv6 Forum President Award for IPv6 Deployment.  She was given the honor after years of dedication to the advancement of IPv6 deployment.

Joya has volunteered her time working on public relations efforts to drive communication, by working with clients and the media, and drastically increasing IPv6 awareness and advancement.

Joya has served on the North American IPv6 Task Force Steering Committee as PR Advisor since 2003.  She is honored to be the recipient of the organization’s first PR award and looks forward to continuing her efforts in the push for IPv6.
