ET Skype Home

International Voip (voice over IP) is growing fast and its implications will revolutionize standard traditional phone calls. Voip is a perfect technology to usher in a better way of addressing the same technology, Like the industrial revolution, to improve a useful, proven, but outdated system, like the landlines used by traditional telephone companies. Voip has made its way onto the Internet backbone to call anywhere in the world for prices affordable by even low income households.

For example, although the of prices for voip is decreasing and the traffic is increasing, the revenue is considered flat for the industry. I predict, however, companies like Skype, who have been in the game for awhile, will profit by increasing their customer base. We have seen this strategy work, for instance, by the 99 cents Only Stores.

I chose this article because I am very interested in utilizing more features that Skype offers. Again, I predict this will replace traditional landlines and traditional telephone sets. People will be able to get telephone calls on literally any Internet attached device equipped with microphone and headset.
