Businesses all across the world have been discovering the benefits of switching to Voice Over IP telephony solutions for several years now, and the rate of conversion to such VoIP services (as they are commonly known) is only increasing in the business community. The reasons for this migration towards VoIP are many and varied, though they all share one common trait the impact that making the switch has on a business’s bottom line.

What Next For VoIP Technology
ABOUT 60 million minutes of international calls are made to and from Bangladesh a day and more than 35 per cent of these calls are still being routed by some illegal operators through Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). According to an estimate, the government during the last ten years has been deprived of Taka 90 billion (Taka Nine thousand crore) on account of lost revenues due to illegal use of VoIP technology circumventing the normal International Long Distance Telecommunications Services (ILDTS) from which the government could otherwise have earned revenues on those bypassed overseas calls.

No, not one of those compact devices designed to give one an initmate sensual tingle when an incoming call arrives on your mobile… ‘The Pleasure Telephone’ is a 45-minute long BBC Radio 3 Sunday Feature documentary about the ‘Electrophone’, a patented 19th Century technology that used early the telephone network to relay entertainment to subscribers. Opera was to have an honoured place in entertainment-by-telephone history – Covent Garden performances could be accessed live in private homes, gentlemen’s clubs and hotels.

Near the end of that Ke$ha video from last month , Paul Muldoon and the Princeton Tiger kid say that they haven’t even mentioned the title “TiK ToK” yet, and that it’s deeply poetic and stands for time, ticking away. So, OK, can we actually talk about that tick? For a second? Instead of laughing it up over the idea of talking about it? Because there must be things to say about the moment that just passed, when two of the songs that were everywhere were “TiK ToK” and “Telephone,” a complementary pair of digital odes to, or even eulogies for, analog technology. Jack Halberstam observed that most of the phones in the “Telephone” video were landlines: immobile, outdated, restrictive, even analogous to patriarchy insofar as they were to-be-escaped-from. I might go further, and try to direct the observation differently—do we even talk on “telephones” anymore? Is the distance of tele – (always a phantom distance) even there, in the way it was just a few years ago? And if the song and the video had been called “Cell Phone,” would the play on imprisonment have been too obvious? From one point of view, the key metaphorical idea that allows the feminist/liberationist politics of “Telephone” to function at all is one that’s looking ever more old-fashioned itself. It’s the idea of unreachability, of an imperfect phone which can’t always be accessed or access you—which, even if it’s mobile, might actually get no service in the club, making it that much easier for you to ignore the male voice that’s trying to get to your ear. How much longer will that kind of unreachability last, when, to take one example from Tony Scott, the technocapitalism that holds us hostage can now get wireless access in the bowels of the New York City subway?

As someone who voices the telephone prompts for a wide variety of companies, I get a front-row seat to seeing the inner workings of a wide variety of industries — most unassuming and straightforward; others so extremely bizarre, they provide great fodder for dinner party talk — and now that I’m blogging — endless material for my articles. When I first wrote about odd/unusual/interesting projects last Fall (when the blog started), I envisioned that theme of oddball projects would be a one-off or easily exhausted — luckily, I’m provided with a constant flow of projects which keep me shaking my head and perpetually entertaining friends and colleagues with amazing stories about voicing for largely unbelievable — but very real — projects. Case in point: there is an online company (who shall be nameless, as are all companies I mention in this article; I have not been paid to promote them nor have I obtained clearance to use their real names..) who — for a modest subscription fee — will break up on your behalf

The SMC TigerVoIP Desktop Phone (SMCDSP-205) is compliant with the SIPv2 Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and can be used with a SIP based Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP), IP PBX and other SIP based client devices to make and receive VoIP calls anywhere you have internet access. When used with an ITSP both home and business users can take advantage of reduced rate calls to the traditional telephone network, and generally free calls over the Internet. For small businesses the SMCDSP-205 can be used with SMC’s TigerVoIP IP PBX (SMCPBX10)

Actually, it never occurred to me that a whitelisting model similar to the iPod/iPad model, where apps would have to be authorized by Apple and obtained through an approved channel like the App Store, might be under consideration.Such iDevices carry a lot of computing power , in some respects exceeding the potential of cheap netbooks, but there are many contexts in which power users and corporates will require a lot more choice than such an App Store would give them.

I’ve often wondered if the autodialer companies have a way of tracking just how fast I can hang up as soon as I detect that I’m getting an automated call — it’s lightning-fast, and I imagine that they’re analyzing printouts of data which tells them: “Wow – THIS gal only got through SIX syllables of the recording before she hung up! What reaction time! Amazing!” Yes, I hate getting those dreadful automated marketing calls as much as you do — otherwise known as “Robocalls” — and I manage to shut the calls down with ever-increasing speed, long before the option to “opt out” comes at the end of the recording. The fact that I’ve *voiced* a fair number of them in my career so far makes it even more comical and ironic that I have such a low tolerance for them, but I — along with most of the general population — view them as an interruption; practically an invasion of my day. They disrupt work, and the most unctious aspect of them is the interruption of dinner or the preparation thereof.

There’s been a lot of talk this week about internet security and crime, and with that talk of course comes discussion of hackers and their exploits. But hacking as an activity and hackers subculture predates the personal computer, and even the internet, first becoming popular right around the time that ARPANET was being built. Of course, computers at that time were exclusively large mainframes in the hands of government agencies, universities and large corporations, so the earliest hackers concerned themselves with the phone system. The activity at the time was referred to as “ phreaking ” (phone+freaking) and it’s practioners as “phreaks.” At that time the phone system was operated by automatic switches introduced in the 1950s, which Wikipedia notes as being when “the general population began, for the first time, to interact with computing power on a large scale.” This system was operated by tone dial, meaning that certain sound frequencies communicated information to the computerized switches. People later found out that by making a certain sound , they could trick AT&T into giving them free calls. It was later discovered by one phreak named John Draper that a toy whistle given away with Cap’n Crunch cereal made that particular tone, giving him his phreak pseudonym. Draper went on to develop the blue box , which was capable of reproducing that tone as well as others, and whole subculture developed around not only making free calls, but seeing how much they could manipulate the telephone network. A Blue Box constructed and used by Steve Wozniak After an expose in Esquire magazine in 1971 , phreaking became much more widespread, and telephone companies did their best to bring charges against phreaks, with some success. Many phreaks went own to become involved in the homebrew movement which birthed the PC, including John Draper, who became a mentor and inspiration to Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Nowadays, phreaking is largely a thing of the past thanks to the internet, cellular telephony, and an all-digital switching interface. This Discovery Channel documentary on phreaking and hacking is a fascinatig look at this subculture and its ancestors

“The capital cost of implementing the proposed solution [from Xorcom] was half the price of purchasing a traditional solution yet by using IP telephony all the functionality is still provided. While the cost savings are impressive, what is really great about this solution is the flexibility ; it does everything and much more than the competitors – with no hidden costs .” So states David Merson, JD-Law. He also notes: “It was a pleasure to work with Phones Correct which provides an excellent product, stands behind it and commits to our satisfaction.
