Google has announced
(in early May) the release of the WebRTC code which, it
hopes, will help to jump-start the creation of a new generation of
communication applications. "Until
now, real time communications required the use of proprietary signal
processing technology that was mostly delivered through plug-ins and client
downloads. With WebRTC, we are open sourcing the voice and video engine
technologies from our acquisition of GIPS, giving developers access to
state of the art signal processing technology, under a royalty free BSD
style license. This will allow developers to create voice and video chat
applications via simple HTML and JavaScript APIs.
