What VoIP Is Actually Good For

Posted by timothy on from the not-brain-surgery dept.

gManZboy writes "One of the things that's bothered me about VoIP is that other than so-so quality phone service at a cheap price, what's the big deal? I mean so you can now deliver voice mail into e-mail because it's all IP packets, does that mean I should ditch my telecom investment. Well in part 3 of Queue's special report on VoIP (here's part 1, part 2) two authors from Bell Labs help explain actually useful things you might do. Now I get it."

    It's a way for the Telco to bilk you for more money while not really giving you anything tangible... much like Digital Cable where they don't offer internet as well.
    Like where I live.
    But oh... it's better... It's DIGITAL!
