GV changing from XMPP

I note the words "firmware update to current OBITALK products".

I take this to mean:

1.  Google Voice will not be using vanilla SIP which is already supported by all OBi devices.

2.  OBi1x0 devices are not classified as current products and will not get the update nor by virtue of #1 above get GV operation reinstated.

3.  Also implied is that all current methods (ie XMPP or SIP gateway) of connecting Asterisk to GV will no longer work.

4.  Bill Simon may or may not be happy !

LTN1:
In understanding that the calls will work in the same way as before, I'm wondering if any beta users have tested if it will impact OBi's faxing capabilities in any way?

A little sniffing around revealed standard SIP + something similar to this auth proposal: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sipcore-sip-authn-02#section-1.3  Most of the "non-vanilla" stuff seems to be happening behind the scenes on Google's side. At the least, the Obi firmware update adds the ability to do SIP authentication using OpenID Connect.

I also expect this will be beyond the scope of the third-party firmware hackers to figure out, at least for a long while (making it not worth it).

If Google would publish a technical document or API about this new SIP interop, I think everyone could be happy!

nlurker:
As long as Asterisk can be made to work with this new SIP interop, everyone can be happy.

1) The signaling protocol changes from XMPP to SIP.  That does NOT mean that you can simply use a SIP user ID and password on any generic ATA.

2) No updates to the 100 series.  To quote the classic Saturday Night Live Chevy Chase observation:  "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is STILL dead".

3) Right.  Google isn't obligated to support anything else

4) The GVGW service will not work as an XMPP<-->SIP bridge after Google shuts down XMPP.
