You're right, that's quite a list. I noticed the Telephony magazine was listed and had their web address. I followed the link and found this article: internettelephony.com on their site. I had seen it in the printed copy of the magazine. It is authored by a fellow from Siemens. Here is a brief quote: With their ability to combine customer care and automatic service provisioning, TMN-compliant networks have become the industry's preferred solution platform. However, TMN networks may not be sufficient in the ongoing battle for customers because of their rigidity and associated costs. The biggest share of the market will likely go to those carriers that are first out of the gate with cost-effective services tailored to each customer's unique requirements. Such speed to market may call for a more flexible, smarter version of today's TMN implementation. I need to re-read about the relationship between Vertel and Siemens. I presume Siemens is selling "smarter TMN".
