Potential Importance of the Internet u who said this about what? “The invention of [...] is the greatest event in history. It is the mother of
revolution.” “In its [...] form, thought is more imperishable than ever; it is volatile,
irresistible, indestructible. It is mingled with the air. ... Now it converts itself into a flock of birds, scatters itself to the four winds, and occupies all points of air and space at once.”
“A [...] is so soon made, costs so little, and can go so far! How can it surprise us that all human thought flows in this channel? ”

Simply Engineering? u 2000 PBS American Experience show on “1900” "The turn of the century, particularly in America, represented a
period that will someday be compared to the Renaissance. Within a period of very short time, 15-20 years, most of the breakthroughs in technology occurred that now influence our lives so heavily. Everything since then has been engineering. You capture motion. Motion picture comes about this time. Now everything since is engineering. It's technology. Sure, the picture's better, but the idea of seeing people move on a screen is new. The telephone. "Hello? I'm talking to Chicago." A miracle. But we take it for granted. You break through and record sound. It's gotten better, but everything since is simply engineering."!

IP Telephony or Internet Telephony?
IP “make sure it stays good”
IP “it is good enough”
voice
or
ITU & others want to “define” voice over IP but no way to know what it will be
tec - 20 Copyright © 2003 Scott Bradner
E.G., SIP u to begin with
send invitation with session description initiate media stream(s)
u since then simulate increasing number of PSTN features e.g., Nortel Centrix feature library has >70 features how many are actually needed vs. how many do managers
& pundits say are needed?

IP Storage u Innovator’s Dilemma personified? u imitative and disruptive u but is it actually innovative?
traditional technology incremental improvement
applications disruptive technology
building yesterday’s product better & incrementally ceding territory
high-end
low-end

“New” Networks u Sprint conversion to ‘packet’ technology
(the quotes were in the Nortel 2001 press release) u Verizon, SBC and BellSouth FTTH u MCI “we are moving everything over onto IP”

What Would Be Innovative? u how about Internet Telephony u with
smart voice terminals downloadable applications open to the Internet standard open protocols
u actually this is not innovation but would (does) enable innovation
