SIP in higher education

["Walt Magnussen" <>]

Candace,

   This is a question of is the change evolutionary or revolutionary.  If 
revolutionary is the answer than we can ignore the E.164 faction.  I view it 
as more evolutionary which would lend itself to a transition plan.  

   It is great that you, on the other hand,  reminded us all that we should 
not forget our roots and the original vision.  

Again, just an opinion (although somewhat on both sides of the fence).  

  As always, your insight is great.

Walt

Hi all,

I know this is not going to be a popular opinion, but I just want to go 
on the record as an opponent of SIP.edu by Numbers. I haven't said 
anything thus far because it seemed to be a topic that inspired happy 
group participation. 

I think SIP.edu by Numbers cause more problems than it solves, and that 
we are moving backwards by spending so much effort converging SIP 
dialing with classical telephony dialing.
