It makes sense for Australia's fledgling Internet telephony providers to work together.
lmost half the corporate executives polled by a leading analysis company will have voice over IP (VoIP) installed in their organisation by the end of 2006.
Australia's heavyweight telecommunications companies are largely ignoring a technology that maps telephone numbers to Internet services, with only relative minnows in the Internet arena demonstrating any enthusiasm.
Microsoft messaging software will be given a direct interface with Telstra's Public Switched Telephone Network on a trial basis, for the next four months.
Australians do not understand the difference between Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and traditional telephony services, while many VoIP providers are not aware of customer protection rules, an industry body said today.
Skype's CEO plans to make the software an accepted part of corporate communications -- both on the desktop and on smart phones.
As organisations increasingly recognise and require the benefits voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) offers, they stop asking "Why?" and start asking "How?".
As VoIP becomes more prevalent, its popularity will undoubtedly attract some unwanted attention -- spammers and phishers looking for their next scheme. Here is a look at some common forms of VoIP abuse, including VoIP spam and caller ID spoofing, and how you can fight back.
