Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the treating-the-Bells-as-censorship dept.

phoneboy writes "There was much progress in the VoIP world in 2004, though not as much as Voxilla predicted exactly one year ago. Will 2005 accelerate the pace of change? We at Voxilla think so. In our One Look Back, Two Steps Forward article, we take a peek back at our predicitions we made in 2004 and don the swami cap as we look boldly into the near future of the phone."

    Simplicity at its best!

    If only I'd bothered to create an account earlier, I might have been able to use mod point on this.

    Instead, you'll have to wait and boost your karma through mirrordot karma-whoring. Oh well.

  3. Bad for Network Traffic by dotslashdot · · Score: 2, Funny

    9-1-1 dilemma--what if there is an emergency & someone needs to use VOIP to call for help? Are we going to create "emergency" packets with sirens so all of the other packets will pull over? Does this mean that network traffic will get worse because all the packets will be on the phone? This sounds like a phony answer to a question packet with problems.
