Thanks for the support everyone!

I'm not going to be writing much here for some time, I am spending too many late nights working but I hope others will pick up and add to the information, ideas, points of view here.

About SS7, IP standards, I have read news releases by at least one, maybe two companies that have announced support for SS7 in their IP gateways. The underlying hardware companies do support SS7, and so it won't be too long before the IP gateways do as well.

And almost everyone jumps onto the standards for compression and call-control etc as soon as they get announced. These standards are very important for interoperating using these gateways, but the saw cuts both ways. Companies like it when things are proprietary when they are the leaders, and not when they aren't. At the moment there aren't any real leaders, just many competitors so I am hoping the standards will gain acceptance. In fact, Microsoft might actually be a player in this regard. They want all the software to run on the host, and all servers to use NT. To do this, they would want to push standards and might even start to ship their own compression filters etc (they already do ship many) with NT. Call-control should follow.
