Top
5 New VoIP Products
by Jeff Cohen
As
with other forms of computer IT systems, VoIP is undergoing
a constant evolution. The FCC is consistently trying to categorize
VoIP and determine taxing for its users. Meanwhile, VoIP
products and users are on the rise. Major computer corporations
such as Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, MSN, and AOL are consistently
adding VoIP capabilities to their lists of options. Now,
most Instant Messaging tools utilize some form of VoIP. Free
World Dial Up and Skype still lead the path into the VoIP
future. What will the future hold for VoIP? Questions abound,
but with major corporations making the switch, we can rest
assured that VoIP is here to stay. With that in mind, here
are the top five new VoIP products.

and pictures. There are an estimated 56 million Skype users

Ebay
has made plans to purchase Skype for 2.6 billion dollars
