Summary of IP Home Phone Article
In 2003, IP phones started the trend of becoming a household product. The IP home phone utilizes VOIP technology to send and receive telephone call. VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) allows one to place or receive a telephone call though the internet. Voice data can be sent and received through packets via the internet just as regular data. With VOIP technology the cost of long distance calls has been impacted dramatically. The bandwidth for using IP phones is minimal which ultimately does not affect the quality of a call when internet traffic is at its peak. The quality of the VOIP does not compare to the traditional TELCO line. However, the price point and comparative features allows for valid competition.

My Review of the IP Home Phone
The IP Home Phone article published in 2003 was an insightful easy ready. After finishing the article, I was able to understand what technology is being used for home phones, how the voice data is transferred from one receiver to the next, and the quality of the service compared to traditional telephone lines.
With VoIP, the telephone becomes just another networked appliance with its own IP address, like your computer or a server. And just as an e-mail is broken into chunks and routed as packets anywhere in the world, so, too, is voice traffic. (2003)
The IP Home Phone article provides a broad overview of where this technology was used originally and where it is moving toward. VOIP was originally used in corporate offices but has now migrated into a home technology. Since internet is a standard in the majority of homes, moving toward VOIP would be easy transition for most consumers. VOIP uses packets to transfer voice data just as regular data is transferred over the internet.
