The Voice Over IP Insurrection

Posted by timothy on Monday September 20, 2004 @11:40AM from the heavy-voiceover dept.

Chris Holland writes "Daniel Berninger wrote the most informative article about Voice over IP I've ever read, over at Om Malik's blog. It outlines in great details the history behind the evolution of traditional communication technologies framed within the convergence of various Internet-related technological advances, and the challenges PSTN telcos are facing to hold-on to their shares of this lucrative pie. Beyond mere technological issues, Berninger offers great parallels and insights on past, current, and future governmental regulatory policies. A must read for anyone who's ever talked on the phone."

Yes, and you are STEALING. The RIAA will be at your door shortly, to install a very small and unobtrusive mircochip in your brain to make sure you pay for all your daily music. Hmm, seems like you're humming "Afternoon Delight", that's another 5 cents...
