VOIP Technology Kills The Telephone - Paper Presentation And Seminar Mini Project

The telephone is the most common of today’s communication facilities. It is also the enabler of the Internet i.e. we use telephone lines to access the internet. It would therefore only be natural for us to assume that the telephone would be around for all time to come. But the assumption will no longer be true. A silent revolution that is taking place on telephone networks the world over could make the telephone of today useless and extinct. That revolution is Voice over IP, VoIP for short. Today, we have to maintain two separate networks for voice and data. Also, the charges for voice transmission are way higher than those for data transmission. Both voice and data networks are combined over IP networks to reduce the transmission charge. VoIP is the technology behind IP telephony.
