• As the revolution of Voice over IP (Internet Protocol) solutions continue to set  the stage for a wide variety of video-related applications to flourish on  corporate LANs, Ethernet technologies are beginning to usurp applications in the  professional video arena that had previously been the exclusive province of  specialized, or proprietary, networks.
• According to In-Stat/MDR (http://www.instat.com), many users of video conferencing  equipment are in the process of converting their existing ISDN infrastructure  over to IP infrastructure, resulting in an uptake of IP-based services, and a  slowing in the use of legacy ISDN services through 2006
• Three key areas to be effected are, the distribution of live broadcast quality  video content over various specialized networks, corporate conferencing and  collaboration services, and interactive "on demand" streaming applications.
