Your patent specifically states "System and method for providing integrated voice, video and data to customer premises over a single network.". Sure I'm providing voice, video, and data over a single network, but they are using clearly distinct and separate protocols. They even use separate chips to decode the data and separate hardware to interface. Nothing "integrated" here.

(except for add on the USB camera). No special chips needed to integrate ALL those features into one unit.
M$ Netmeeting software was offered as a free download and integrated into Win98, circa 1998. whoopsey, that predates the patent filing by two years.
