is said that lotus sametime is now can interoperate with GTalk, AIM and
Yahoo
using XMPP and SIMPLE protocols.
If I understand situation correctly - then it mean that AOL and Yahoo
should
open access for any IP that runs lotus.
Anybody knows if it is equal to just 'any IP' and as a consequence - can't
we
have now native xmpp transports to these two networks?

Public IM Connectivity
IBM announced that it is working with leaders in the public instant
messaging market to help Lotus Sametime users connect with public instant
messaging communities.
IBM will be enabling this connectivity through a new SIP-based Real-Time
Collaboration Gateway that is currently planned to be available later this
year. IBM is embedding this capability in Lotus Sametime, without additional
charge to customers.
[image: AOL logo]IBM and AOL have entered into an agreement to enable
Lotus Sametime users to connect with users of AOL(r), AIM(r), ICQ(r) and
Apple(r)
iChat™ instant messaging services. In addition, Lotus Sametime 7.5customers
will have access to AOL's AIM(r) Clearinghouse service, which will
make it easy to connect with other enterprise instant messaging users .
[image: Yahoo logo]IBM and Yahoo! are furthering industry interoperability
by joining the Yahoo!(r) Messenger and IBM Lotus Sametime IM communities. By
entering into an agreement to allow Lotus Sametime 7.5 users to connect
with Yahoo! Messenger users, IBM and Yahoo! have demonstrated their shared
commitment to provide IM interoperability while keeping security and
reliability top of mind. Interoperability will be based on the SIP / SIMPLE
industry standard protocol and will establish a server-to-server connection,
requiring only one log-in ID.
[image: Google logo]Building on their existing relationship, IBM and
Google intend to enable standards-based interoperability between the IBM
Lotus Sametime enterprise IM community and the Google Talk public IM
network. This broad, out-of-the-box connectivity with the industry's leading
consumer IM providers extends the business benefits of Lotus Sametime and
gives IBM customers a security-rich way to collaborate with millions of
public instant messaging users worldwide.
