The Converging Public Network and the Services it Will Reap

As all forms of network traffic - including voice, data, and video - converge onto a single high-speed transport network, literally boundless possibilities emerge for converged services for the enterprise. But, exactly what are these services and what is the business benefit to the enterprise? Is there anything beyond business as usual? The session probes what is currently available and what is on the horizon.

(These are the handouts from the session presented at the ComNet conference in Washington, DC, in January, 2002.)
