Why Are The Internet Community Screaming And Yelling From The Rooftops About Free Skype Download

I was reading a Time magazine excerpt the other day.The two geezers who started it sold their website to ebay and are now very rich because of it.You are probably wondering what I am going on about.Many know it as skype.It is hardly a novel concept making a call to a friend over the world wide web without having to pay for it.

So all you have is rig up a phone to your pc and you can see and talk to anyone anywhere in the world using skipe.There is a downside, however, and that is that it is most easily used over a broadband connection.Great pictures are not guaranteed however if your connection is slow.

One of the worlds biggest sites Ebay has already jumped on the bandwagon and is flogging phones specifically for skyp.I guess it's been around for about a year already but it's catching on fast..

Some of the commercial phone companies are already selling voip phone service..The question on everyones lips is will it last the distance.Will it take on the internet by storm, or is it just a passing fad

My assumption is that it is still in its youth and inevitably will go through a time where a lot of different firms will come up with a variety of ways to do this.The most plausible scenario is that the federal govt will want a piece of the action by regulation.Skype are charging to make phone calls to cell phones and local regular phones, and that's called skyping out,etc

The next big thing which voip are making a cheeky move towards is the notion of web conferencing. With 911 happenning relatively recently more people want to travel less and less so it is a great opportunity for voip to put video conferencing back on the map

My opinion is that audio and video over the net, especially over a broadband connection will see a shift in popularity.Many people think video and audio will be a passing fad but all the evidence points to the contrary.

The next ten years will be make or break for the world of voip and only the consumers will tell us whether the free skype download is worth shouting home about.The question remains will voip take over from the phone.
