Cisco and Microsoft tries to cool voip with ICE Methodology!

I saw the news first at this site, Telecommunications Industry News. Then I found the PR newswire news release. So here are both links.
PR Newswire at MSNMONEY Site.

ICE, a standards-based methodology, allows information workers and businesses to more easily communicate in media-rich ways across network address translators (NATs), a significant barrier to VoIP and video connectivity. ICE provides a rich set of solutions for current NAT issues with media. Microsoft and Cisco are jointly supporting the ICE effort, demonstrating both companies' strong commitment to developing standards-based communications solutions built on methodologies that can be broadly adopted and integrated.
