You Don't Know Jack about VoIP

gManZboy writes "Phil Sherburne and Cary Fitzgerald, two senior technologists over at Cisco, have written an in-depth overview of VoIP for developers and the like (not for everyone who's ever used a phone). Like Queue's earlier You Don't Know Jack about Disks, this article covers the history, the basic technologies, how they work, and where they're headed.

VoIP = fad

[AriesGeek]

Cisco has been trying to sell me on VoIP for years now. I think they are running out of new money makers and this is why they are trying to push it so hard. Naturally, since Cisco is buzzing about it, the whole marketplace is.

While it does have some uses, wide-scale VoIP deployment is simply not necessary. Look at how much you pay for LD vs. the bandwidth costs of running full-scale VoIP.

Ok, off my soapbox now.
