Why Are Everyone
Going On About And Making Such A
Fuss About
Skipe
I was reading a Time magazine excerpt yesterday and found that there is a thing called skype phones that was sweeping the web.These two are now rich beyond their craziest expectations because of selling their concept to one of the premier sites on the web,e bay.You are probably wondering what I am going on about.A lot of people call it voip.It is not a new idea, making long distance calls over the internet for free.
So all you have is rig up a phone to your computer and you can see and talk to anyone anywhere in the world using skipe.There is a drawback, however, and that is that it is most easily used over a isdn connection.Video bandwidth does not justify clarity over a slow connection .
One of the worlds biggest sites Ebay has already jumped on the bandwagon and is flogging phones specifically for skyp.I guess it's been around for about a year already but it's catching on fast..
Due to Skypes huge success big commercial telephone companies are trying to get a foothold in the marketplace.The question on everyones lips is will it last the distance.Is it here to stay or will it have vanished off the face of the net within twelve months
You can be fairly sure that many start ups will flood the market in the hope of making a killing but it has an established foothold.The most likely scenario is that the federal govt will want a slice of the action by regulation.Skype are charging to make phone calls to cell phones and local regular phones, and that's called skyping out,etc
It seems like voice over interet protocol is also at the forefront of web video conferencing as well. Web video conferencing was a huge idea about 10 years ago but then fell off the radar but now it is making a return
We are also seeing a huge amount of people using audio and video on the web now that download speeds are that much quicker.Everything says that audio and video will be the next biggest thing since sliced bread.
The next decade will be make or break for the world of voip and only the consumers will tell us whether the free skype download is worth shouting home about.The question remains will voip take over from the phone.
