VoIP: voice over Internet Protocol. It's one of the hottest technologies on the IT&T landscape today. So iTWire is throwing the spotlight on VoIP with this special feature.

A decade ago VoIP was a novelty. Then it became a service, but one that the pundits said would never become mainstream. How wrong they were! At any time of the day there are around four million users on Skype, the world's biggest VoIP service. And, at the other end of the scale, in a few years VoIP will become the dominant means of carrying voice on the networks of major telcos like Telstra and Optus.

So what, exactly, is VoIP today? Who is using it, and how? Who is selling it? What exactly are they offering? What are the issues for businesses and consumers contemplating using VoIP services?
