Michael Feld

Mike is a recognized innovator in the field of telecommunications and IT services. Mike founded fc.com, Inc., a company specializing in the then-emerging field of remote network management for carriers and enterprises. Fc.com also designed and implemented network, operations centers (NOCs) and local network infrastructures for exchange carriers such as CTC, Nynex/BA, and VTel (Vermont Telephone). Fc.com was sold to CTC, one of the largest Northeast CLECs, in 2000. At CTC, Mike created the first fully remote (Voice/Data over Frame) NOC. This NOC handled all aspects of customer support and provided integration with carrier OSS platforms. Required applications (ACD, Ticketing, EDI w/ OSS and others) were developed and resulted in an efficient, low-overhead operation that allowed CTC to quickly become an operational CLEC.

Mike also served as the Chief Technology Officer of Connecticut Broadband, where he designed a statewide VOIP network. Mike also served as a Senior Consultant for Connecticut Broadband’s consulting division, Partner Consulting, focusing on complex voice, data and Internet applications. Mike has also worked with numerous Municipal Utilities across the country assisting with the technical assessment, vendor selection and rollout of Broadband Data Services.

As the founder and President of Layer-Eight, Inc. Mike has provided telecommunications and IT consulting and engineering support for telecommunications carriers, large business and industry manufacturers.
