>>It doesn't seem that VOXW have much faith in their Voice technology in the IP telephony market does it. Doesn't look like DGIV made the right decision when selecting their voice algorithms. Here'a a little DD for you guys! From their last quarterly report: The Company licenses its technologies to software and hardware companies for a wide range of applications and services, and primarily targets the following four markets: electronic devices, multimedia software, Internet Protocol (IP) telephony and wireless communications. With respect to IP telephony, initial deployments in that market have primarily utilized standardized codec technologies (and not Voxware's proprietary codec technologies). In addition, initial deployments in IP telephony have been characterized by bandwidth-rich managed networks (Intranets), which networks generally do not benefit significantly from low bandwidth solutions such as Voxware's technologies. Principally, in consequence of these factors, the requirement for Voxware's technologies in the IP telephony market is not expected to significantly arise at least for the next two years, if ever. << Valentine , 1. VOXW's marketing statement did not draw the same conclusion as what you described. VOXW's statement highlighted their own proprietary codec technologies which they believed the better solution and outperformed the older standardized codec technologies. You may misunderstand the statement. 2. VOXW's codec technolgy can better compress the digitized voice bits/data in order to communicate on a congested link on the net. INTRANET evnironment is normally talking about local area area network or campus network which has better bandwidth(such as 100 Mbit/s Ethernet network or FDDC). Of course the terms are different between INTRANET and Internet, but their higher protocol layer(TCP/IP) are the same. To a technical person, they are the same. I am busy with NSCP lately(My blood is hot for it), did not spend too much to lurk on this thread. IF people like DGIV, go for it, if not, don't buy it. Good Luck!
