From the Paper:

"Briefly, the benefits of VoIP should be made clear, inasmuch as they help to explain (in part) how the technology became so pervasive, so fast. Put simply, VoIP technology reduces the cost of long-distance calls and allows people to communicate with multiple individuals at one time. Online meetings from various locations suddenly become possible and, insofar as VoIP is a combination of data communication and voice communication, it is possible to exchange messages, videos, and many other documents instantaneously via the integrated internet connection (Intertangent, 2004). In the end, VoIP stands apart from the old analog phone because of its integrative and multi-tasking capabilities."
