MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent announcements by
Sprint and Bell Atlantic hint at the end of the pure voice network paradigm.
Service providers in the United States, and eventually throughout the world,
are furiously gearing up for voice and data convergence on their networks.
The introduction of IP gateways in 1996 will help fuel their desire for
content bandwidth.
According to new strategic research from Frost & Sullivan (
<http://www.frost.com> ) World Markets For IP Telephony Equipment And
Services, the forecasted compound annual growth rate (CARG) is 132 percent.

By the end of 1997, IP telephony traffic reached 6.3 million minutes per
month. Forecasts predict colossal growth for this market in the years to
come.
Since 1997, the definition of a gateway has shifted from ''stand-alone box''
to ''integrated functionality.'' In other words, what used to be seen as a
distinct network element is now a module for existing networking equipment.
In 1997, the market also saw the introduction of commercial
telephone-to-telephone services using IP telephony gateways. A market once
considered just for start-up companies is quickly becoming a battle ground
for companies such as Ascend, Cisco, Lucent, and Nortel.
The introduction of commercial telephone-to-telephone services using IP
gateways also came in 1997. ''Successful service providers will be those
with comprehensive interconnection partnerships,'' says Frost & Sullivan's
Telecommunications Industry Analyst. ''These partnerships will let them
complete calls anywhere in the world for less than their competitors.''
