The CEI Group, Inc. (CEI) is upgrading its telephone system by switching to SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) trunk lines, the latest in Voice-over-Internet Protocol technology.
“We engage in a total of more than 1 million inbound and outbound phone calls a year, most of which are long-distance and combine voice and streaming media,” said Bob Marriott, CEI’s senior manager of enterprise technology.
“Our new SIP trunks offer more robust multi-media capability and the advantage of simpler, virtual connectivity to internet service telephone providers. They’re also more scalable and cost-effective, and will help us control our costs as CEI call volume continues to grow.”

In 1975, largely in response to OPEC's oil embargo against the United States, Congress enacted a new energy law that included provisions to increase "Corporate Average Fuel Economy." These CAFE standards, as they're known, led to a remarkable jump in the fuel efficiency for the U.S. auto fleet, with a near doubling of fuel economy and a 50 percent jump for light trucks in just a decade. But federal policymakers coddled the auto industry in the 1970s, and by the 1980s the fuel-efficiency curve had plateaued.
