Future of VoIP
In the year 2000, VoIP networks carried 1 percent or $700 million of total voice traffic. This level will grow to 13 percent by 2003, and have a value at that time of $24 billion. The established carriers in the U.S. generated some $83 billion carrying long-distance traffic in the year 2000. This figure will drop by $6 billion to approximately $77 billion in 2002. Many believe that the whole idea of per-minute rates will disappear and, within two years, flat rates will prevail for long distance just as they do for Internet access, thanks to VoIP!!!!!

Conclusion

VoIP is the way to go !
