Voip Future

Why did I choose this topic? Because, VoIP is individual deployed on inside commercial Networks for small cost, and in many cases, little quality worldwide calls. But to what extent in this happening and what has VoIP's impact on the telephony market been?

Several big name vendors such as Microsoft, Cisco and Erricson are supporting and implementing SIP as their VoIP protocol. And in terms of service providers, there are a massive number of companies offering VoIP as an option to the traditional telephony service.

Companies such as Vonage, AT&T and Verizon are all trying to get a stake in the market. Home clients to date have being trading the quality of telephone calls against the cheaper cost offered by these providers. Other benefits besides cheaper calls is the beginning of IP telephones and VoIP boxes which means the user can have the same experience as normal telephoning. This means one does not need a headset, microphone etc. to make Internet Telephony calls and can make phone to phone calls using IP.

Internet service providers are assembly the decision to become voice over IP service providers and join those who are already in the market such as with Qwest and Vonage. This is definitely a big plus for the growth of VoIP into the future for several reasons. ISPs already have their own IP networks to build the voice services and they are already experienced in working with IP and routing traffic. They are also in position to offer additional services to their customers. For example they offer free VoIP to VoIP calls to their customers and it mean customers will have a single bill instead of receiving many for all they different services they use. This would make VoIP more attractive to even more customers, keeping VoIP's foot in the future.
