I don't see why anyone really needs to know what VoIP is.
They spend WAY far too much energy on calling it VoIP service. Call it Internet Based Telephone? or as in the cable companies, they call it Digital Phone. Comcast went as far as to call it Digital Voice. Why? Because it doesn't matter to the average person. I'd guess that 95% of the people out there just want to pick up the phone, get a dial tone, press a few buttons and get connected. How that happens? They don't care, so long as it works.
Besides, when was the last time you heard the cable company call their cable modems QAM4/QPSK service, or DSL call it G.Lite, CAP, or DMT?
So, bottom line, who cares that it's Voice over Internet Protocol... to the consumer, it's just phone service. |
