From the Paper:

"Now that the telecommunications folks are promoting this "New," technology, they've dropped the video applications in many cases and added the mobility of "Cellular Technology - Voice Over the Internet," or voIP for short. The acronym voIP of course represents Voice Over the Internet Protocol and several companies, especially the big guys like AT&T, Lucent Technologies, GTE, Sprint, MCI, and several of the Baby Bells among many others are promoting this communications approach heavily now.
"There have been however several wannabes start-up and flame out trying to muscle into this highly competitive marketplace. Just check out the flops when the NASDAQ went sour a couple of weeks ago and one can find several of these companies on the "Technology Stock Scrap Heap."
