  • Email tag and forward by myphone@directories under both yellow pages and white pages e.g. 0299580489@whitepages.com.au
  • Directory driven Voice over IP VoIP telephony based on the Session Initiation Protocol SIP
  • ENUM and NAPTR drive the convergence of the PSTN telephony and IP

myphone@directories Stage 1
  • Base product: Directory Tagging e.g. Mail-to Tag
  • myphone@directories forwarding
  • Premium myphone@directories forwarding with anti-spam and virus check
  • Alias.myphone@directories Mailing list service
  • myclub@directories controlled user group including legally admissible messaging
  • Extension of directory tags to include URLs and SIP addresses. Support ENUM’s DNS Directory Architecture RFC 2916 and RFC 2915 (rfc2915) - The Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) DNS

Stage 2 SIP Extensions
  • Session Initiation Protocol SIP RFC 2543 is a breakthrough in VoIP telephony via SIP URLs in the SMTP email address format.
  • ENUM RFC 2916 DNS architecture maps telephone numbers to Internet services
  • myphone@directories will enable directories to support SIP with VoIP telephony gateways from white or yellow pages directories.
  • myphone@directories + SIP + ENUM + NAPTR = Killer Application
5
Other Directory Extensions
  • Enable user to add/delete/modify any directory detail including print advertising
  • Directory plug-ins for Instant Messaging including ICQ, AOL IM and MSN
  • Provide a generic directory tagging capability type:tag for new entities beyond email tags, URLs, SIP URLs and IM tags

Future of IP Telephony
  • Enable both IP and conventional telephony seamlessly from IP handsets costing no more than conventional phones.
  • Directory plug-ins to eliminate need to dial.
  • Combination of voice activation and myphone@directories eliminates need for keypads.
  • Map Phone Numbers to Internet Services

  • The best way to predict the future is to invent it.  Alan Kay

Migration to IP Telephony
  • Circuit switched telephony is $2T+ business protected by last mile access as long as possible by the incumbent carriers. IP Telephony must handle Plain Old Telephony seamlessly.
  • IP handset prices must drop to <US$50 or be distributed “free” as part of the service.
  • Low cost Wireless LANs & 3G IP Mobiles
  • Always-on Broadband IP
  • Billing based on service level and data volume as opposed to per call, per second or call distance
8
Directory Driven IP Telephony
  • IP uses bandwidth 16x more efficiently than Circuit switched telephony: price advantage.
  • Seamless integration with video, data, unified messaging and the Internet.
  • No extra hardware for call set-up e.g. no need for carrier call connect & mix equipment. No extra cards, modems or cables.
  • Universal Presence & Awareness
  • Wireless mobility
  • Directory Enabled User Agents & middleware optimise content translation across a whole spectrum of devices.
  • Seamlessly Map Phone Number to Internet Services
