Technology Reviews and Perspectives

Voice Over Internet Protocol is becoming a popular alternative to traditional land lines or POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). VOIP usually uses the public internet to transmit voice conversations. Since the internet is essentially free network, VOIP companies are able to offer voice services at a lower price than traditional phone companies. The only requirement for consumers is a broadband internet connection. The largest VOIP providers include Vonage, Comcast, AT&T CallVantage, and Packet8.
