Will… I’d actually like to rephrase the question to, why hasn’t Voip overtaken the phone lines already?

Sarika Patel, head of technology at Grant Thornton, cites the doubling of the VoIP customer subscriber base in 2006 and four fold in the last two years as just one reason to believe that the VoIP worldwide customer base with top 250 million in two years

She thinks the the past 12 months brought about tremendous change for VoIP with improving technology solutions and enhanced ability for ISPs to cater for VoIP calls resulting in the rapid increase in the uptake in the technology and changes at the heart of the communication’s industry business plans.

Problems With Voip?
“Security remains a major concern,” says Patel. “VoIP is more secure than it ever was, but eavesdropping, viruses and fraud are still a threat. Currently, software encryption products are available, but it is inevitable that encryption will be integrated directly into VoIP systems in the near future. If this is successfully managed and brought to market, VoIP will garner the confidence of business and uptake will jump.”
