All vendors are talking SIP.

At a recent conference I went to I certainly got the impression SIP was
the 'buz'. In video conferencing Polycom have announced they will do SIP
this year.  Tandberg indicate next year.  MCU vendors like radvison
support SIP now.

In the VoIP world all vendors (including traditional PABX makers) are
talking about cheap, commodity SIP handsets.

SIP is the future - certainly for VoIP but also for video conferencing.

That being said, I don't thing h323 should be removed from gm.  Just
that SIP is needed as well.
