SIP in higher education

[Ben Teitelbaum <>]

You can now outsource campus email to Google (see blog posting
attached below).  Next up (I imagine), Google Talk.  Would you point
your MX record at Google?  How about your SIP or XMPP SRV records?

The notion that campuses (and enterprises) have a unique value
proposition when it comes to providing communications services is
under assault from many directions.  Thoughts?

  Big mail on campus

  Posted by Stephanie Hannon, Gmail Product Manager

  San Jose College (SJCC) has embarked on a technology improvement
  program, and for the first time will be offering student email
  accounts. That's where we come in. We're testing a new service with
  the school by hosting Gmail accounts with SJCC domain addresses
  (like 
),
 plus admin tools for efficient
  account management. Massive storage and features that tame the most
  unruly inboxes, like powerful mail search, conversation view for
  messages, and a fast interface, make Gmail very handy for
  students. Together, we're pleased to provide this channel for better
  communications and a stronger community for all 10,000 SJCC
  students.

  If your school, business or organization is interested in following
  SJCC's lead, let us know.
