  2. VoIP Internet Phone Service
    The cost savings offered by VoIP can be enormous. One of the Packet 8 service plans includes unlimited long distance service everywhere in the US and Canada. VoIP ('Voice over Internet Protocol') enables you to send and receive phone calls over the internet, rather than over a regular phone line. This can potentially save you money, and nowadays with the low cost of broadband internet, is easy to implement at home and at work. The VoIP service offered by Packet 8 is (unsurprisingly) quite similar to that offered by Vonage. But, the differences are important and make a positive difference to the overall service. Packet 8 uses a different type of voice processing interface box to that offered by Vonage. Installing the Packet 8 box was as simple as installing the Vonage box, however. There were simple three step instructions included - plug in the power supply, plug in the network cable, and plug in the phone! What could be simpler than that.

VoIP may sound like an alien insectoid curse, but it's the hottest word in telecom.

  5. BellSouth 8x8 launch VoIP service
    BellSouth is following other large local carriers that have begun offering home services powered by voice over Internet Protocol.

For $20 a month, BellSouth subscribers can order the new service, which features voice mail, caller ID, unlimited free phone calls to anywhere in the U.S. or Canada, and cheaper overseas calls, said Bryan Martin, chairman and CEO of 8x8. This validates our technology," Martin said. "We're a small, 200-person company, and to have BellSouth endorse us says a lot. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Atlanta-based BellSouth chose 8x8 after testing other VoIP providers, Martin said. BellSouth continues to work on creating its own VoIP technology, according to news reports.

  7. Vonage Adds Video to VOIP Service
    Buoyed by a recent FCC (Federal Communications Commission) ruling that its services are exempt from state and local regulation and tariffs, VOIP upstart Vonage plans to enter the video telephony market. In a partnership with broadband videophone maker Viseon, Edison, N.J.-based Vonage Holdings Corp. plans to add video calling services to its SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)-based VOIP (voice over IP) service early next year. For Vonage, which already bundles its service with adapter-equipped routers from Linksys and Netgear Inc., the expansion into videophone services could open up new market opportunities nationwide. Viseon markets the VisiFone, a desktop phone with a 6-inch LCD panel, a CCD (charge-coupled device) camera with adjustable color and brightness controls and a built-in speaker phone. The device has been fitted with audio inputs and NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) or PAL (Phase Alternating Line) video input/output connections. It uses the H.323 protocol.
       
  8. The Integration of Robust VoIP Services
    In the last five years of the twentieth century, we have seen developments in the telephone network which will affect our lives well into the new millennium. A continuing and massive effort by the industry is bringing closer the day when integrated services and multimedia will finally come to our homes-on demand and at affordable prices. The Plain Old Telephone Service, POTS as it has been known for most of the twentieth century, is giving way to modernization, service integration, and convergence of two fundamentally different types of technologies: voice and data. There is nothing wrong with the quality of the Public Switched Telephone Network, the PSTN as we have known it for so many years, either in the delivered speech quality or in its reliability. On the contrary, it is the model of robustness and security, and those of us who know its intricate details are amazed by how something this large and this complex can function so reliably and so well.

  10. AOL offers new VoIP service
    The service, called Total Talk, will enable calls to be made through a user's computer in addition to using their regular telephone hardware by connecting a telephone line along with a cable or digital-subscriber modem to a broadband router. Users do not need to have AOL as their Internet provider, according to a company press release. Total Talk will be "a little bit of a paradigm shift for telephone service" for subscribers, as it will allow the mobility to take a phone line anywhere, said Anne Bentley, an AOL spokeswoman. Through its new AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) software code-named Triton, users will be able to answer calls to their home phone from other computers, forward calls to their cell phones and direct them to their voicemail. Computer-to-computer calls-a feature of AIM since 2000-will continue to be free. However, the new Triton software allows for calls to land lines or mobile phones - whether local or international - and priced according three subscriber plans.
       
  11. Voxbone Pitches Inbound VoIP Services
    Voice over IP (VoIP) service providers have primarily pushed the technology as a cheaper alternative to traditional landline phones. Now, it may also be a way for smaller companies to look a lot bigger in the global pond. VoIP service provider Voxbone uses the Internet-based architecture as a platform to provide inexpensive local telephone numbers and inbound telephony services to companies anywhere in the world. This means that a customer in Germany, Italy or one of the 35 other countries signed up by the firm thus far can dial a single number and be connected with a Voxbone company client. Companies pay Voxbone about $7 to $11 per month per number in each country, without worrying about individual contracts and local taxes, Rodrigue Ullens, one of the company's co-founders, told internetnews.com.
