It's very important. Voice over IP is probably the most important technology we are facing now. VoIP essentially represents a fundamental shift away from the circuit based telephone architecture, a proven technology, a proven form of communication that has been around for over a 100 years. It has huge implications for the managment of data networks in telecommunication systems. VoIP sends information packets just like any other internet traffer, and because VoIP is not nearly as regulated as conventional telephony it offers a tremenduous amount of opportunity, a tremenduous amount of advantages. It allows companies who normally would not have these PBX-like enterprise-strength features available to them because they otherwise could not afford the 10-20 thousand dollars needed to purchase a PBX.
