INTERNET+
Read more brief, "An Internet+ Model for Global Unified Communication"

* SIP trunking is now bringing telephony-over-IP together, without having to use old TDM lines and the PSTN. What is the way forward to also bringing Unified Communication together, getting all the islands together and going beyond the plain old telephony service (POTS)? We should learn from the Internet’s success and ask why our smartphones are super smart in everything, except in being a phone. An Internet+ Model can e.g. give us telepresence and modern communication in our pockets, between all UC islands, Skype islands etc. We are closer than ever in being able to make this happen, also including the current POTS as well as the Internet. Which telco will first give us an Internet+ connection?

** Videocalling (telepresence) equipment vendors and service providers have joined up with the OVCC to create a global video communication network and service. What’s also needed is an Internet+ transport network that can carry the services they are offering, following clear and established standards. The network equipment, capacity and terminals already exist. The Model for creating an Internet+ is outlined.

*** At the beginning of the VoIP era, no one suspected we would end up in a POTS-over-IP world, where the 100-year-old telephony infrastructure became implemented as an overlay network over IP, not even capable of faxing anymore, instead of replacing POTS with better telephony services and using the abilities of a global IP network (the Internet). We will discuss these issues and how to get to an Internet+ Model, which can replace the old PSTN and allow the new services that terminals and the network already are capable of (e.g. telepresence calling), so we don’t have to use smartphones to make a POTS call asking the called party to start his Skype client. Are new standards or regulations required?
