To start with, these days there are no technical barriers preventing cell phone or VoIP calls during a flight. Moreover American Airlines now offers broadband internet access to its clients, but has taken measures not to let passengers use Skype or similar VoIP software. The only reason of the prohibition is our own comfortable flight. Airlines are trying to avoid some tension and social consequences of letting passengers chatter. Most of you probably wouldn’t like to be sitting next to a chatterbox who will be telling his or her dummy stories the whole flight long, but you also might need to speak with the friends picking you up or answer some urgent call. So we put it to you, dear readers: Do you want VoIP or cell phone access during the flight or you are voting for voice calling limits on board? Tell us your opinion in the comments.

On the seventh anniversary of 9.11 British intelligence wowed the audience reporting that the Talibs who are responsible for the atrocity used Skype to plot and coordinate its operations for the attack. The reason for this choice is that the VoIP calls are heavily encrypted and difficult to decode.

Earlier it came easy to the British and U.S. military to eavesdrop on Talibs, because they used satellite or ordinary mobile phones which are easily traceable by all intelligence agencies. But at present Taliban coordinate their attacks through VoIP calls. It is an essential part of the more aggressive strategy and reorganization of this military group. British officials were reported working overtime with American intelligence to crack Skype encryption on suspected terrorist conversations.

Later on British military authorities tried to introduce legislation into the Parliament about ISPs tracking data because the Skype algorithm is considered to be almost impossible to crack. But the proposal was denied as violating individual privacy. Anyhow, as reported July 25, 2008, Austrian officials hinted that Skype calls were quite easy to intercept. Actually, if that’s the case, British officials must have a chat with Vienna sooner or later.

VoIP or rather “Voice over Internet Protocol” is a technology which allows you to make and receive phone calls over the Internet through an online VoIP service. VoIP is based on checking the destination of each telephone call when it is made, and then sending the call via the network. VoIP is a core technology that drives everything from voice-chat software loaded on a desktop PC to IP-based telecommunications networks in large corporations. VoIP is no longer a technical innovation. It is a revolutionary technology that has the absolute potential to rework the world’s phone systems. Accordingly VoIP today is a real business for a growing number of for-profit organizations that sell and service VoIP connectivity. VoIP is now a mature approved technology that is widely employed by most business organizations from small private companies to big international corporations.

But what are the reasons for this mass switching to VoIP? The main reason is that VoIP can be clearly identified as a Least Cost Routing (LCR) voice routing system, which will cost its customers the least. It costs less than conventional business phone service and generally a lot less. VoIP can serve profitably both for internal networks in large corporations and for long-distance calls. Above all a high speed Internet connection can be used for multiple phone lines with no loss in functionality, reliability, or voice quality.

Then why VoIP is so inexpensive? First, VoIP is cheaper because it uses low-cost commodity networking, and the infrastructure is subsidized by cable TV and POTS subscribers. Besides, VoIP is built on already established equipment and applications. In addition, it’s also cheaper, because VoIP is free of the government regulations and tariffs imposed upon phone companies.

And the final question for every reasonable person is evident. How to choose the most advantageous VoIP service for you? This choice depends on your personal needs and on the way you will use the service. For the further information about VoIP plans, providers and services you may consult on VoipPRO.org

For AltiGen, as a VoIP business phone system provider, proceeding expansion of their reseller channel means sound investment in their entire growth. Jeff Kays, vice president of Business Development at AltiGen, made the assessment of the situation saying that Onecall Telecom not only brings a solid existing user base but what is more strengthens their influence in the mid-South region of the US.

In his turn Bob Chance, president of Onecall Telecom, hopes that AltiGen will allow them to sell into businesses that are looking for a complete UC solution. Expressing his company’s excitement about AltiGen’s lead generation program, Bob Chance noted “the fact that AltiGen invests marketing dollars on behalf of their reseller channel to assist them in driving incremental business will help accelerate their growth and mutual success”.

In the middle of the August Intel company announced Remote Wake-Up technology which allows PCs to work as a remote system of data storage. According the new technology users will be able to turn out sleeping mode and get access to any data on their hard drives remotely just knowing their IP addresses. All you need is to type the URL in Web browser. But your computer must be constantly connected to broadband data transmission network and you are to install not only Wake-up technology but also guard authorizing system.

For the first time this technology was mentioned by Intel in February 2008 at a conference for investors in Santa-Clara (USA). Computer with Remote Wake-up equipped VoIP-client (unfortunately the technology supports only Jajah service and don’t work with Skype) or connected to the phone line can turn out sleeping mode in order to take a call and re-direct it to answering machine. The point is that the Intel technology will wake up computers during calls. Moreover microphone and loudspeakers will be activated for the user to react to a call. All in all this new technology will help to transform home PC into many-sided communicational center. By the way computer will wake-up only in case of a call from known subscriber that’s why using technology by prunkers is out of the question. The technology needs special software stored not on the hard drive but on the special memory block on motherboard. The motherboards supporting Remote Wake Up technology came into the market at the beginning of September.

All owners of Nokia smartphones in the near future will be presented a small surprise. Vendor of mobile phones has removed support SIP protocol, which is used for VoIP-telephony via Wi-Fi. VoIP-telephony is a great challenge for all cellular operators because it allows users to make relatively cheap calls over Wi-Fi-network.

All in all, this is beneficial to users, but quite unprofitable for operators. The Nokia company has supported providers of mobile communications and remove the built-SIP-protocol platform S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 (FP2). Some smartphones such as Nokia N78 and Nokia N96 work on the S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 (FP2) platform.That means to use VoIP-telephony on these models their owners will have to use a third-party software.
