Philip,
Another reason why I'm such a Cisco suck..

Some highlights:
Cisco, Bellcore and RadioShack
Central to the deployment of Sprint's Integrated On-Demand Network (ION) will be three partners -- Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO - news), Bellcore and RadioShack.
Cisco will provide technology at the heart and edge of ION, including customer premise equipment. Through the exchange of intellectual property, Cisco will provide the capability of voice over ATM for ION and the ability to connect to other carriers' legacy circuit-switched networks. In addition, Sprint will be an early implementer of the Directory Enabled Networks (DEN) standard. Networks with DEN capability place information about users and their services on ION to deliver better performance, reliability, security and quality for a variety of networked applications.
''Cisco is proud to be working with Sprint to deliver the benefits of data, voice and video integration to customers,'' said John
Chambers, president and CEO of Cisco Systems. ''By collaborating with Sprint and Bellcore, we will develop and bring to market the first ION applications and services and lead the way in making multimedia communication an everyday part of doing business.''
Cheers,
Peppe le Cisco suck |
