VoIP

Migrated from Archive

Well, yesterday I have a question relayed to me asking about Internet phones. My first reaction was whether they meant Voice over IP (VoIP) in the traditional sense, or looking at some of the more modern gadgets that are available and making revolutionary changes in modern telecommunications. From this, comes this three part article on VoIP. VoIP has different beginnings depending on where you look. The business community first started looking at this based of ATM technology, versus IP because that the time that is what was available with enough bandwidth. The drive: businesses were looking to consilodate their telecommunications solutions into one neat hardware package. When the geek and gamer communities got a hold of this idea they flew with it and had some great software solutions.
