NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

In the last several years, U.S. buyers have become increasingly
familiar with network equipment makers from China, particularly
Huawei Technologies and ZTE. Network World this week looks not
only at these companies, but also at other up-and-comers hailing
from China - and examines 3Com's relationship with Huawei.
Bullish on China

U.S. Census makes big VoIP splash

The Census Bureau has 6,500 IP phones installed, and has become
a big advocate of the emerging convergence technology. In this
week's article, the agency's CIO reflects on the rollout and
gives advice for others starting down the VoIP road.

AT&T expands WiMAX testing

AT&T announced last week that it plans to launch its second
WiMAX trial to further test the performance of the fixed
wireless technology with business customers.

Users eye wireless voice/data unification

As forward-looking companies move off legacy PBXs to VoIP
infrastructures, even bolder groups of users are looking to
literally cut the cord connecting employees to 20th-century
voice technology.

Radio: What is pod slurping?

To demonstrate the ease of "pod slurping" - the ability to copy
corporate information to an iPod's hard drive - Abe Usher
created an application that can suck Word, PDF, Excel and other
office documents off an office PC in minutes. Usher, founder of
Sharp Ideas, joins us to discuss his application and what
companies can do to combat the potential iPod security risk.
