quicken.excite.com As Doug mentioned to me TA is partly TM The above reference with news of further developments between siemens and nn the development of ip section and capability the strong breakout and then the rumors to justify the breakout. the obvious to me is that the rollout of broadband access to the home, soho, and office is beginning in earnest. the product suite that nn and siemens offers is ready for prime time. nn has been strengthen the executive office and talent in management. the obvious to me is that regardless of rumor the troubles of the past couple years have been cleared and the company is getting ready to assume its worldwide leadership along with its partner siemens in atm. siemens happens to be going through its own reorganization. now i don't read tea leaves but if TM counts i smell accelerating growth for nn/atm and the competition is feeling the heat. so if i was siemens what would i do. globalization is here and chrysler and daimler benz saw it. my bet is that nn and siemens have recognized the technological advantage and marketing clout that a further formalization of shared interest would bring. from 10/19 news "We are pleased to be introducing an innovative solution that will ensure seamless migration of voice, data, video and multimedia traffic onto an ATM-based platform," said Olwyn Walter, Assistant Vice President, Switching Products Group Marketing, Newbridge Networks.

These capabilities ensure quality of service guarantees per connection and signaling internetworking with private network-to-network (PNNI) for call-by-call connection setup. "Carriers and enterprise customers are working to consolidate their multiple, application-specific data networks onto a single backbone, and then adding voice to this converged network," said Jennifer Pigg, Senior Vice President, Data Communications, The Yankee Group.
