VoIP February 26th

VoIP sounds like an amazing new tool. Once people catch on to this, it is going to hit bigtime. I think phone and cable companies are doomed, judging by the characteristics of voip. It can do everything and more, and saves so much money. That is what America seems to be all about- money money money! So something like voip is great for this kind of group. It will make it so much easier to call and talk to people in far away places. I have family in Guam, Japan, Hawaii, New York, Conneticut, Maryland, and Arizona. I feel like I barely know them anymore because I rarel see them or talk to them. Obviously with cell phones these days, it is easier to call within the US, but out of the states costs an arm and a leg! Also, my mother travels a lot, currently exploring India (I hope) but I have not been able to talk to her because it is so dang expensive, so I don't even know how she is doing. If we were savvy with computers and voip, we could be talking and she could be telling me all about her trip.
When this gets out into the open and people realize how easy and inexpensive it is, there will be no more landlines at houses, and probably no more cell phones. This is going to kill some companies who are not getting thier feet wet with voip. As they said in the article, voip can easily replace all cable and telephones with ease, and people will love it. It is a great idea, and I am anxious to see how and when this really comes about. After reading the article, I really want to investigate this more and see what it's all about. The article was very technical information, but I would like to see what the companies have to say. See? This is already giving my phone company a challenge, because I want to replace it with voip.
Overall, voip sounds amazing and I believe that in a short time, phone companies will be done for.
