VOIP or just talki'n

SIP-forum SIP phone group was created earlier this year to create recommendations for SIP-phone requirements, auto configuration, service interoperability and other issues for SIP phones. But has the SIP-phone group been created too late? Already there are many different implementations for remote configuration, remote management, statistics, logging and with different packaging when it comes to services. IADs make things more complex since DSL, Voip, and TV set-top box could be integrated in the same device. The DSL-forum has noticed this and started working on a few documents regarding SIP devices:

TR-069 CPE WAN management protocol https://webmail.bredband.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.dslforum.org/aboutdsl/Technical_Reports/TR-069.pdf

WT-111 (in development; not in public domain) Applying TR-069 to Remote Management of Home Networking Devices

TR-104 Provisioning Parameters for VoIP CPE http://www.dslforum.org/techwork/tr/TR-104.pdf

WT-122: Base Requirements for a Consumer Oriented ATA (an older version is in the public domain identified below)http://ftp.tiaonline.org/tr-41/tr41.1.1/Public/2005-05-Portland/TR41.1.1-05-05-015-DSLForum-WT-122v1-ATA-Document.pdf

Does the SIP-forum really want the DSL-forum to set the rules of the game? If not they better start working or vendors will start implementing after the recommendations that are available.

A call to technical support.

"My cable goes through a doorway, sometimes I have to push really hard to close the door, but it has been working for a long time. My little son drives around with his tricycle indoor but the cable is so flat that it is not a problem. My dog chews on the cable, I have tried to make him stop be he doesn't. The problem started when I nailed the cable to the wall, but I was really careful, so you can't say that this was the cause.... "

(it is really authentic)
