What is VoIP?
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) is very simply your voice traveling
over the internet.
VOIP is not new-- internet users have been talking over computer
chat programs for years. What's new is the advanced technology that
allows us to use VOIP with our house phones and the standard telephone
system. This is a whole new breed of telecommunications!
"...by the end of 2008 some
17.5 million users, or about 16 percent of U.S. homes, will be VOIPing
-- the beginning of mass-market acceptance." the
Yankee Group, Wall Street Week with Fortune
"The
Internet will wipe out old phone service."
Fortune Magazine
"VOIP
gives customers a sense of WOW. WOW hasn’t been used to describe
telecom since the 1950’s advent of the furry pink Princess
phone. But the inherent flexibility of the Internet protocol may
at last make that word appropriate.” Business Week
“The
VoIP market is far bigger than we would have guessed. We were wrong.”
Stuart Elby, Verizon’s VP
“Now
that over 40% of American homes have high speed connections, more
consumers can readily make a switch to VOIP.”
Fortune Magazine
[VOIP]
"is the most important shift in the entire history of modern
communication since the invention of the telephone."
FCC Chairman, Michael Powell
