As a large proportion of people worldwide are increasingly favouring the
Internet as a means of communicating with others, it should come as no
great surprise to see it being adapted to encompass that other
technological marvel of our age, the telephone.
Once again, the Internet has taken another step forward in its evolution,
this time with the arrival of voIP (voice over Internet Protocol). By
using the Internet as a signal carrier, this system allows users to make
and receive free or cheap telephone calls anywhere in the world. Whilst
voIP is still in its fairly early stages, it is however showing all the
signs of being a huge success.
Apart from a computer, there is only a minimal amount of equipment
required to access this service. Users would have to route calls through a
voIP provider, then what is needed is a fast connection such as broadband
together with a telephone and voIP adapter and you.re up and running.
Calls are then made and received in the normal way.
This latest technology whilst advancing the capability of the Internet
even more could simultaneously be signalling the onset of a decline in
conventional telecoms companies, who may find that they will have to adapt
rapidly to keep up and compete in what could turn out to be another
communications revolution. There are at present quite a number of voIP
providers already in existence who have obviously seen the potential in
this system and taken early action to be a part of it from the outset.
Is it a possibility then that the telephone could become the number-one
method of communication again and eventually gain superiority over email?
One of the main attractions of email is the fact that apart from the
standard ISP charges it is otherwise free to use. It is therefore hardly a
shock that since its inception email has relegated the art of letter
writing to third place with the telephone coming second as a preferred
communication medium.
So, is all that due to change with the arrival of voIP? Will free or cheap
telephone calls compliment or outstrip email usage in the next year or
two? That remains to be seen. To the far-sighted among us, voIP is a
natural progression that was bound to happen sooner or later. To the rest
of us it is an exciting new concept that will not cost a fortune to
operate, a benefit many will welcome with open arms.
There is however, a certain amusing irony in the fact that as the very
system that contributed to the decline in telephone usage, the Internet
could now turn out to be the biggest aid to its revival. The constant
growth and ever-increasing abilities of the Internet has most of us asking
the question, how much further can it go? As far as our imaginations will
take us, would for the time being be as good an answer as any.
