While others are just waking up, DGIV has already gone to work. Here's another indication why we are in a better position to take a hefty chunk of the market, unlike others who are just positioning themselves. F.Y.I. LONDON, June 2 /PRNewswire/ via NewsEdge Corporation -- 1998 has finally seen the launch of commercial Internet telephony services in Europe by a number of ambitious next-generation telcos and Internet telephony service providers. According to new research from International Data Corporation (IDC), this has some of the incumbent PTOs briskly responding with plans to launch services of their own. The high level of interest is unsurprising given the potential of the technology both to allow new players to enter the market for basic telephony and also to enable new value-added applications utilizing the convergence of telephony with the Internet. In the U.S., a number of next-generation telcos are already challenging the traditional PTOs with low cost Internet telephony services. In Europe, on the other hand, barely six months ago there had been little activity in the area of public IP telephony services beyond testing of the technology and one or two public trials by carriers such as Deutsche Telekom and Telecom Finland. "The situation is now changing with a small number of commercial services up and running from next-generation telcos and ITSPs such as Delta Three, Glocalnet and POPTEL, while a number of ISPs are also planning to launch services within the next few months," said Scott Moore, Research Analyst, IDC's European Telecommunications Services. "However, the clearest signs yet of the adoption of Internet telephony in Europe have been the announcements by Deutsche Telekom, Swisscom, Telenor and Telia of the launch of IP telephony services before the end of 1998." One of the most significant inhibiting factors to the introduction of Internet telephony services has been the issue of voice quality. However, advances in technology and the use of managed networks now enables operators to offer services with voice quality equal to that of GSM, allowing them to enter price-sensitive sectors of the residential market. On the other side of the equation there are a number of driving factors for IP telephony. At the moment the most important is cost, which will gradually disappear as the prices of IP and standard switched telephony converge. However, other drivers will soon emerge such as the possibility for new value-added applications.

E'Lane, A LtCdm cannot shirk her duties - even if the sun is shining and all is content with the world <g>. On the other hand, you will need more than hip-boots on ICVI... it is flying thru the air with the greatest of ease <gggg>. INFE is not much better, tho I managed to pick up another 500 shares pretty cheap this morning. I found this and I just know it has something to do with DGIV and what it does, I just am not sure what - "WHAT IF DR. SUESS DID TECHNICAL WRITING? (These work best when reading if you can get a little beat going) If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash! If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel on another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall, and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse, then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang! When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk, and the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk, then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM. Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom." Your task, LtCdm E'Lane, is to memorize this and repeat to the crews of all our ships...as fast as you can and with a straight face. <gggg> Chuck(wondering if he'll ever get a neck rub from Lanie again)
