- Wide-Area VOIP is overhyped nonsense
-
Think about it. Raise call volume to infinity over a circuit switched network; and eventually you get an "All Circuits Busy" SIT tone. Calls 1 to infinity-minus-1 are unaffected by this threshold.
Do the same on a packet switch network; and eventually bandwdith per call drops below the nyquist freqeuncy. All of your calls timeout and end. Its just not scalable enough for streaming over a Wide-Area cloud outside your control.
Don't get me wrong. VOIP is great for extending voice services over the last mile. It can serve to simplify corporate intranets considerably. But replacing the phone network with voip over the public internet. Forget about it. - Posted by: savatar Posted on: 07/24/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
