VoIP - Where to start?
VoIP is the technology behind sweeping changes in what we have known as telephone service. For most of us the 120+ years of telephone service, consumers and businesses paid for telephone connections to a network that interconnected around the world linking telephone service providers. The telephone service providers and government agencies controlled the rates to interconnect and then to connect parties together.
In the mid-1990's VoIP technology started being adopted by existing service providers, new telephone service providers who were born of VoIP technology, and various Internet Service Providers of telephone or voice services over the Internet. This rapidly spreading revolution has adopted the name of VoIP to describe a myriad of alternatives.
In reality users of telephone services should have little concern about the use of VoIP itself, just as users did not need any understanding of traditional telephone service technology.
