The 16 Nextgen's are little tiny companies. How much is Vocaltec making off of this? Delta Three sells the pc to phone client - wow, this is impressive! Where are the agreements with AT&T, Sprint, MCI, France Telecom, British Telecom. Do you think they want to adopt the same thing as DT. In these early stages, their competitive position is enhanced by NOT adopting the same ip telephony software vendor. DT locked up Vocaltec cheap. Oh, by the way, what ever happened to all those touted trials in Finland, Australia, Japan, Taiwan ......
No agreement with Lucent, Bay, 3COM, Motorola but something next year with an Isralei chip company. Time to market is critical and name recognition is as important. Especially since this protocal is going into firmware and fast. It has to to meet the speed requirements for telephony. Vocaltec is missing the boat here too.
