...Soccer is using voice-over-Internet protocol (VOIP) technology, which allows the transport of voice, data and video over the same network. And as the various kinds of communications become intertwined, the sum is greater than the parts. The phone that the clerk uses is an IP phone from Cisco Systems that packs more punch than your old handset could even dream...
...competition includes such telephone-equipment makers as Avaya, Citel Technologies, Mitel Networks, NEC, Nortel Networks and Siemens, which are all pitching products to move customers from traditional phone systems to a converged voice-and-data network. On the other side, network-equipment makers like Cisco and 3Com are suggesting that companies dump their phone providers entirely and go with IP-enabled systems and phones. IP start-ups like Pingtel, Shoreline Communications, Sylantro, Veraz Networks and Vertical Networks are pushing both sides to innovate...

Overall, tech is once again the S&P 500's best-performing segment, rising 59% this year, even though that segment has experienced a 5% decline in the previous 12 months of earnings.
