SIP has been around for a long time. Moreover, its a fundamental part in the 3G phone plans, which is all about using your phone more over the internet (which is much more than just website browsing). The good news is that with SIP your phone can become as open source and adjustable as the computer is at the moment and its becoming standard soon!
A dedicated innovation workgroup, SIG, has now started to promote and organise this new technology in the netherlands. Will we soon be able to call friends by email adress instead of phone number, I’m in for it.

The SIG is aimed at catalysing innovation around this global trend in The Netherlands by bringing the right people from various sectors together around the open technologies that will enable this change, i.e. service developers, hardware vendors, (open source) programmers, business developers, administrators, regulators, standards architects and IT lawyers.
