This’ll be the biggest shakeup in telecomms infrastructure since …well, I don’t know when but a long time!
So, who says that funny VoIP stuff will never catch on? Converged networks are just a pipe dream? The BT 21st Century Network Project is IP right up to your house or your business, 24 mb/s broadband, nice! A pure IP switched backbone, powered by routers such as the Juniper IP/MPLS products, awesome stuff! On the back of this BT are launching the developer framework for supporting those new applications in conjunction with Microsoft. The rollout is under way and by 2011 it’ll be complete. SaaS is a coming, applications are going to be piped down that wire!
