The future of IP-Telephony is going to bypass PSTN's (public switched telephone networks) completely. To keep the antiquated hardware with it's mixture of ITU, ISO, ANSI and RBOC would present a nightmare of adaptability problems. There will be no need for a single phone system; it will be integrated in an exclusive NET-based system bypassing traditional phone lines entirely. If DGIV is trying to attract long distance service, it has missed the mark, as the high-end business will be through a home/office smorgasbord of communications services through the cable lines using cable-owned satellite uplinks. From Technology News Article: techweb.com The company (AT&T) plans to roll out its planned two-way service in several stages, officials said, ultimately providing high-speed Internet access, interactive video services, and Net-based phone service through cable connections. At first, a major effort will change the structure of TCI's network, reducing the number of subscribers served by each string of fiber-optic cable. This will allow subscribers to receive more than 300 cable channels, and enable two-way interaction similar to a telephone line. What part of Internet Protocol Telephony do you not understand? This technology will bury traditional phone networks, so why is Jimmy Chin contracting with them and not ISP's in these foreign countries? The answer of course is that the players plan to profit from the short-term appreciation of the shares traded for contracts, most of which will never be honored. Bird (Flying into the next millennium)
