Webcast: Wireless VoIP: Ready for prime time?
http://ct.com.com/click?q=11-l8diI2~tWLyhpAG7F0nIuBBV7INB
Wi-Fi networks provide an opportunity to provide workers with mobile
voice service. And because cell phone coverage is generally poor
inside buildings, wireless VoIP offers some obvious advantages.

New Era of Intelligent Communications
http://ct.com.com/click?q=99-4mfyQAdljqi7vNWSuNWF8gr8p8X8
In addition to reading the accompanying white paper, download the
presentation given by Avaya executives Don Peterson, Lou D?Ambrosio,
and Mike Thurk on May 2, 2005 at the start of the NetWorld+Interop
show in Las Vegas.

http://ct.com.com/click?q=4b-k_s7IBUUPWM~Adtn50~lvZ5T0C1W

http://ct.com.com/click?q=e9-gd8pQxVKO930ELhGqyhlWL3M9UXn

revealed that customers are unable to find answers to their questions
via the Web more than half of the time - and compounding the problem,
the phone still remains the fastest way to get resolution.
