Gateway style video federation would be nice for end users, I'm just skeptical that the business involved could agree to terms. Refer to Sametime Gateway's lack of MS Live integration, and soon to be retired Yahoo IM integration. These aren't technical problems, they are business model problems.<br /><br />A case could be made that it would be better to put efforts towards implementing/backing paradigms and technologies for video conferencing systems interaction to behave more like email and less like IM. If I'm at company A I don't have to be on the same email system as company B to exchange messages, I don't even need a third party to act as a gateway, or special work done by server or network support teams, even if we've never exchanged messages before. Small businesses and consumers would get access to a SIP "proxy" for their use through their ISP much like POP3/SMTP/DNS service.<br /><br />The standards already exist for this, however I don't see or hear about companies considering it. Is that because the products utilizing the standards aren't quite ready for interop in this manner, a gap in standards covering some must have capability? Or is it simply an idea waiting for a little more momentum to start taking off?Travis Retzlaffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059854738407692869.post-10584671592877758222011-04-05T04:40:05.597-05:002011-04-05T04:40:05.597-05:00There seems to be a perception difference between ...There seems to be a perception difference between IT professionals and the user population at large. I think VoiceMail is pretty dead. With Smartphones everywhere SMS and IM is much more efficient (you won't listen to a voicemail in a meeting, but you can read your SMS). And most of the voicemails are anyway: "call me back" messages.<br />It was the first thing I switched off.<br /><br />For IM: it probably flies below the radar as "taken for granted".<br /><br />:-) stwStephan H.

Also found very little interest in this at the last two TechEd events I visited. Wonder why this survey seems to indicate a different type of interest?Niels J.
