Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP is a universal name for a family of broadcast technologies for delivery of voice communications over Internet Protocol networks such as the Internet or other packet-switched networks. Other terms often came across and tantamount with VoIP is Internet telephony, IP telephony, voice over broadband, which is commonly known as VoBB, broadband phone, and broadband telephony. This kind of technology can also be used in home phone or even fax to email since it is an internet powered technology and easy to acquire as long as you have a good connection at your own house, or maybe a home office. It can also be a lot cheaper to have since there are no long distance call charges when using a VoIP and the connections are easier since all internet connections go through telephone lines. It is also highly advisable to have when it comes to home businesses, especially if you have all the plans of making it in to the international scene. Believe it or not, the very first VoIP was actually done in 1974, where the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (or IEEE) printed published a paper entitled “A Protocol for Packet Network Interconnection”
