Globes story of not much importance: globes.co.il Wednesday, Nov 26, 1997 Sun-Thu at 18:00 (GMT+3) Communications Europe's Telecom Standards Institute Chooses VocalTec to Bridge Internet-to-Phone Gap By "Globes" correspondent VocalTec communications today announced that TIPHON, a technical body of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), launched TIPHON Net, a global testing platform to develop standards to facilitate interoperability between IP telephony equipment and carriers.

Karl Heinz Rosenbrock, ETSI General director, received the call and addressed the assembled TIPHON members in Vienna, saying "TIPHON is a flagship or project for ETSI, instrumental in helping bridge the gap between the world of traditional telecoms and the telecom relates areas of the Internet". "Being the world pioneer and acknowledged leader of the Internet telephony emerging market, VocalTec is committed to the further development of quality IP telephony solutions", said Elon Ganor, CEO and chairman of VocalTec' Communications. "VocalTec is committed to the advancement of standards that will drive Internet telephony into the mainstream of the communications industry.
