Lippis and Kerravala on the New Communications Industry Structure

Zeus Kerravala and I discuss the new industry structure, which is emerging thanks to Microsoftâ��s entry into the communications market this past June.  Avaya has a new executive management, Microsoft and Nortel form a bold new Innovative Communications Alliance, Mitel plans an IPO, Siemens Communications has one foot with Microsoft while Cisco stays the course for now.  What will be new communications development platform (SOA, .net, SONA?).  What should you do if youâ��re in deployment mode, planning or operating a converged network?  Which firms will survive and which ones will wither?  Youâ��ll get answers to these questions and straight talk advise when you listen to this industry roundtable Lippis Report podcast.
