Bertrand Chauvet, IP telephony product manager for Dialogic Telecom Europe, pointed out, It is necessary to create a new IP gateway standard, but H.gcp appears to be a diplomatic manoeuvre linking H.323 and M.gcp.The major telco equipment manufacturers are focusing on interoperability and will adopt M.gcp or something based on it..
Shykeh Gordon, vice president of worldwide sales at RADVision, also has his suspicions but takes a more upbeat view.A lot of the time the best political standard is not necessarily the best technical standard.H.gcp is designed to control media gateways and is a valid standard.However, the cable market has not been willing to wait for H.gcp because it wants to provide services now.Thismarket has adopted M.gcp which is not the same as H.gcp -- although there will be similarities. -- GM.
