Nortel To Provide IP Telephony For NY Times
Nortel has been selected by the New York Times to outfit their new headquarters in Times Square for Spring 2007. Nortel will be setting up the IP communications system and VoIP phones for use by reporters and editors for collaboration through audio conferencing sessions. Services include unified messaging and audio conferencing. [via TMC Net]
The Times recently ran a piece on Wi-Fi VoIP phones, with the most prominent conclusion being that most of them were hard to configure. No indication is given of whether NY Times staff will be using such Wi-Fi handsets. Of course, if the new system supports video calling - something like SightSpeed - to allow reporters to interview people remotely, that might up the ante. The NY Times website already uses some video content. With the web levelling the playing field between TV broadcasters and print newspapers, video content such as the way MTV uses it would be interesting to see on a newspaper's website.
