A reply from IBM regarding Voice Times Alliance: (2001)
The products we announced can and will use VoiceTIMES
specification verified devices. VoiceTIMES is the initiative to create
open specifications for mobile devices. The specifications that VoiceTIMES
is currently working on and will be working on in the future will be used
to access the mobile Internet through our software.
Perfect examples are our voice-enabled automotive solution and the PVA.
Both solutions use the VoiceTIMES specification for their internet access
devices.
