Introducing VoIP Now: Voice over IP News

Dotmarketer LLC has officially announced VoIP Now: Voice over IP News. The Web site is a weblog with daily news and commentary about VoIP. The categories covered include security, standards and companies such as Skype, Vonage, and Lingo.

Dotmarketer executive Jimmy Atkinson is writing the blog. "VoIP is an exciting technology that is changing the way people communicate. I think the weblog will be a great way to spread awareness about VoIP," Atkinson says.

For those who have never heard about the potential of VoIP, be prepared to radically change the way you think about your current long-distance calling plan. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a method for taking ordinary analog audio signals and turning them into digital signals that can be sent over the Internet via IP packets.

While most analysts believe it will be at least a decade before most companies and telephone providers make the switch to VoIP, the technology's use today is already quite astounding. A report by the Forrester Research Group predicts that by the end of 2006, nearly 5 million U.S. households will be using VoIP phone service. With the savings and flexibility that the technology already offers, and new advances just ahead on the horizon, those numbers will only increase in the future.
