SIP in higher education

[Ben Teitelbaum <>]

(Apologies for duplicates; I know that many folks are on both lists.)

The SIP.edu initiative and Dennis Baron (it's fearless leader) are in
the spotlight this week on the Internet2 home page [1].  The occasion
is the rapid growth that SIP.edu has experienced in the last month.
This growth has brought the number of SIP.edu reachable users to over
140,000.  Here's the copy:

  Internet2 SIP.edu program now reaches over 140,000 users who can now
  receive voice over IP (VoIP) calls at their university email
  address. Spanning campuses across the world, SIP.edu has been
  adopted by leading institutions including Yale University,
  University of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
  Columbia University, University of Hawaii, Woods Hole Oceanographic
  Institution, Colorado State University and the Swiss Federal
  Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich. Begun in March 2003, SIP.edu
  seeks to promote the convergence of email and voice identities, the
  rapid growth of SIP accessibility, and the widespread deployment of
  enterprise SIP servers to serve as learning platforms for schools
  and research institutions looking to experiment with new enterprise
  SIP services.
