Update - IBM Sametime Gateway and Yahoo interoperability extension

On January 5, 2011 IBM announced that they have signed an agreement  with Yahoo that will  allow customers to extend the Sametime connection to Yahoo through mid 2011. This is for existing gateway customers, already connected. The replacement will be a Sametime Connect client plug in offering to connect to Yahoo using Yahoo IDs to authenticate. IBM will make this plugin available to existing and new customers. The exact release date this summer is not yet finalized, but IBMs intent is to have this released before the Yahoo Gateway access is removed.
