Imagine how difficult it would be if you were limited to calling people who only use the same carrier or if your phone could only call certain brands and not others. Cisco wants to avoid this future for video communications, and therefore today appealed the European Commission’s approval of the Microsoft/Skype merger to the General Court of the European Union. Messagenet, a European VoIP service provider, has joined us in the appeal.
This raises a couple of thoughts:
- compatibility is more crucial in the lower layers of the network. How about router vendors defining compatible OSSs?
- let's remember when Apple iPhone came out, Cisco took Apple to court because of the name. One could ask if that was for real.
This time there could be real concerns behind this. Cisco has been looking for video to be a key application. Of course, the more traffic, the better for their infrastructure sales
- at least I have not heard of their court-case partner Messagenet earlier, need to check their background...
- of course Cisco concerns as such are valid. MS may have a lot cooking here...
