Report to help / support users published by TERENA Many users still do not feel like it is a “call and go” service Expertise is available, but is it advertised and used? New protocols / paradigms on the horizon, but now ? We need some support for H.323 now; We need to be proactive in making the expertise known We need to rise support to professional level … while other protocols (SIP) or services (group collaboration tools) become mature A TASK for the follow up of TF-VVC
