Is VOIP a Future-Proof Solution?

VoIP (voice over IP) continues to attract a lot of attention, but VoIP deployments and widespread use have slowed, according to a recent study by Forrester Research. VoIP, which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, is basically the transmission of voice traffic over IP-based networks. VoIP allow making and receiving phone calls via an online connection. VoIP users tend to think of their connection as being "free," since they can call anywhere in the world, as often as they want, for just pennies per minute. Actually, only VoIP to VoIP calls are completely free of charge, when caller and receiver are under the same VoIP provider.
