Members of the Center's Technology Council, Mr. Ray Paquette and Mr.Terry Beaubois, joined a Center Sponsor represented by Mr. Peter Leipold, the CEO of T-Nova North America, for a lively discussion covering how to arrive at a common framework for competition in the Internet-driven market -- to what commercial format will arrive as viable in the ever-changing eServices global market? In the end, Mr. Kurth challenged the Center colleagues by asking what will be the major opportunity or development resulting from the recent downturn in the Internet/high technology world. The representatives of the Center's Technology Council responded that SMS (short messaging) will remain dominant; that IPv6 will not be used to the extent that we all originally predicted; that there will be grouping of innovative efforts and continued experimentation even though funding for emerging technologies has been reduced; and that the internationalization of the Internet Revolution, especially in the Valley, may also help in the reduction of possible monopolies emerging. The Center looks forward to welcoming Mr. Kurth back for further discussions around regulations, billing issues, and the setting of standards for eServices and communications. *************************************** During the Pub Talk, Erin McCart will discuss how the powerful combination of InterWoven’s solutions are able to provide your company with the necessary enterprise-wide infrastructure layer to support eBusiness.
