Latest Featured Articles One of the biggest challenges for carriers is how to deal with the Internet and IP services. If they are not careful, they will earn less and less money with voice telephony and will be, due to a lack of new services, reduced to being mere bit-pipes. Competition would only be in who can offer the highest bandwidth. However, bandwidth becomes a commodity and there is hardly any money to be earned. At the same time, always providing more bandwidth is a costly endeavor. I agree Google Hangouts will benefit from Vidyo's SVC and solve some difficult problems like what to do when the customer is specifically on an H.264 codec. This solves a problem with the chips that are in use and the devices that are not going to give VP9 a chance in their chips. However, very little of this has to do with the battle over VP9 and H.265. Skype's role here is nonexistent but Microsoft's SilverLight strategy is relevant (although currently in retreat). Unified communications solutions (UC) these days are a lot like lunch boxes. Companies open up the UC box and throw in a standard formula of sandwich (e-mail), chips (voice), dessert (IM & presence), and a drink. In addition to the America's Cup, there was another big event this week in San Francisco: Oracle Open World. While catamarans racing on hydrofoils across the bay at over 40 miles per hour is incredibly interesting, I took some time to see what was happening in WebRTC at the Oracle event.
