First, some basics...
How VoIP/Internet Voice Works
VoIP converts the voice signal from your telephone into a digital signal that travels over the Internet. If you are calling a regular phone number, the signal is then converted back at the other end. VoIP can allow you to make a call directly from a computer, a special VoIP phone, or a traditional phone using an adapter. In addition, new wireless "hot spots" in public locations such as airports, parks, and cafes, allow you to connect to the Internet, and may enable you to use VoIP service wirelessly. If you make a call using a phone with an adapter, you'll be able to dial just as you always have, and the service provider may also provide a dial tone. If your service assigns you a regular phone number, then a person can call you from his or her regular phone without using special equipment.
What Kind of Equipment Do I Need?
A broadband (high speed Internet) connection is required. This can be through a cable modem, or high speed services such as DSL or a local area network. You can hook up an inexpensive microphone to your computer and send your voice through a cable modem or connect a phone directly to a telephone adaptor.

VON Community Gets a Gathering Spot
|
Alec Saunders hits a high note today with a very neat idea for the now abandoned VON community with his post today. For starters the idea leverages the daily iotum Squawk Box Conference Call that has been up and running for a few months that is the best thing since the watercooler for a bunch of folks to gather around. But he's gone one step further and it's all positive as a means to keep the companies in the game who were so much a part of VON alive and interacting.

VoIPWatch Named To 25 Best BtoZ Blogs By The Standard
|
I was tipped off by a reader tonight about something special inside the Standard, the second coming of the Industry Standard. When I read this, my chin dropped. I was stunned. For the record, I don't profess to be a techie, just someone who can make sense out of technology so others can understand. That was why I started VoIPWatch in 2003 with the basic idea behind it being four main objectives. Those same four still hold true today. For long time readers, this is nothing new. I've said it here before: 1. Make VoIP better understood by the media...

Lack of Vision Can Kill What's Best
|
It seems the lack of vision, lack of willingness to cooperate by or from carriers is the common thread I'm finding in getting feedback from my post yesterday. Check out Jim Courtney's round up and links to others who like the idea but present many a reason why not.
