VoIP for Business
What is VoIP? VoIP (an acronym for Voice over Internet Protocol) refers to the transmission of voice traffic through the Internet instead of a traditional telephone line. It’s become a popular alternative to land lines because of the cost advantages it provides, namely since most VoIP users are simply charged a flat monthly fee. Here are a few interesting facts about the world’s fastest growing telecommunications method:
• By the end of 2009, research indicates that VoIP will be used in approximately 12.1 million households in the U.S. alone (Jupiter Research).
• Japan is the largest VoIP for business market in the world (Net4Now.com).
• In Europe, France is home to the largest VoIP network (Net4Now.com).
• Skype, a major VoIP service provider (primarily in households) has more than 171 million registered users worldwide (TechRadar.com).
