Personally, I do not have the simplest doubt that VoIP or Internet telephony has become the mantra of the new era and this sway is going to increase by leaps and bounds in due course. But what pains me is that the majority of people, not to speak of South Asians, across the globe is grossly ignorant of the same. What do they fail to comprehend is that VoIP or Internet telephony is the future and the sooner you have the same, the better it is.
Hence, we must crack down on the essence or basic traits of VoIP at the very first instant. What is VoIP then? To cut a long story short, it happens to be any one of several technologies that enable one user to make phone calls over the Internet rather than over the telephone network. Some more advanced and secure systems make use of a private data network instead of the Internet. It should be kept in mind that this technology has been around ever since the 1970s but hasn't been practical until recently. Reason? To make it effective, there is the need of a dedicated broadband/high-speed connection.
Well, there is the need of something more. Bear in mind any user or you have to have a bit more than 100kbps per connection using modern VoIP transmission technologies. This has only recently become common among residential broadband subscribers. However, the same kind of bandwidth has been available in businesses for longer and the technology is already well established in the business market too.
There have been radical developments in the meantime. These include improvements in standards, protocols and underlying hardware and software and all these have made the requisite broadband speeds more sufficient and have lessened costs for the users.
This may stimulate you to a larger extent. These days, thanks to VoIP, it is both feasible and money-spinning for a 20 person small business to operate a call center of its own and to have one system dealing with main and branch offices and even remote and telecommuting workers.
What are you waiting for then?
