According to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, in the video below, the future of the Web, and communications, uses many applications which fit together using internet data stored on multiple servers in many sources (”in the cloud”).
(Paraphrased) “Applications are small, data is in the cloud, applications can run on any device, PC or mobile phone, applications are very fast, and customizable. Applications are distributed by social networks, email, forwarded between users, virally. This is a very different method than implemented previously… very different from the mainframe era.”
The hallmark of unified communications and fixed-mobile convergence is running communications applications on any device, in any location, and using services from any source. For this to occur, the user needs application frameworks smart enough to simplify the multiple protocol problem which now faces most application developers. There are many protocols involved in communicating between anyone and anywhere. Multi-session and Multi-protocol frameworks are a way to make this happen.
