Cisco Buys Jabber

Not technically VoIP but as IM/presence has such a huge overlap with most voice offerings out there seems appropriate to talk about this.

"Enterprise organizations want an extensible presence and messaging platform that can integrate with business process applications and easily adapt to their changing needs," said Doug Dennerline, Cisco senior vice president, Collaboration Software Group. "With the acquisition of Jabber, we will be able to extend the reach of our current instant messaging service and expand the capabilities of our collaboration platform. Our intention is to be the interoperability benchmark in the collaboration space."

I'm please about this - it officially seals XMPP's future (which is the right thing in my opinion).
