'In CISCO's presentation, Don Listwin, EVP, argued that the growing trend in the infrastructure of the internet is open standards. Clearly this is currently true for IP based computer networks. You can use an server, any web-server software, and any browser,. But the trend is also happening, according to CISCO, in voice telephony systems and in wireless infrastructures, both of which are still dominated by proprietary vertical systems. If you buy a Lucent telephony systems, you can't attach non-Lucent phones to it. But with IP-based voice packets as a standard, the enterprise telephone marketplace will become open. CISCO argues that in an open system environment, they are the clear winners, because of their superior distribution and efficient production cycle.'
