Abstract
"When you're moving at Internet speed, you're not going to wait 100 years to form relationships [as a telephony service provider], and besides, there would be too many relationships because this part of telephony is not restricted to national monopolies, it's got a lot of small players" (Dunlap, 1998, 189). When perfected, Internet Telephony, or the merging of telephony and Internet will allow people to communicate using a number of media simultaneously. Internet Telephony, or the practice of consumers and businesses turning to the Internet for voice and fax phone calls, according to a 1997 study, could end up costing phone companies some $8 billion in lost revenues worldwide over the next four years."

Abstract
This paper explains that the best way to communicate is face-to-face, or direct communication, rather than the printed medium of emails, letters, and memos; therefore, business telephony is the next best thing to a face-to-face meeting. The author points out that a cost effective and an extremely efficient method way of direct person-to-person communication is LAN telephony that combines telephony and data. The paper relates that the Dual Tone Multi Frequency Dialing System, which integrates telephony and data services, marks a dramatic advancement in technology, whereby, the conventional rotary pulse dialing system and today?s touch stone method of dialing, known as Dual Tone Multi Frequency Dialing, are updated and made more efficient.
From the Paper
"The open systems interconnection (OSI) has been developed by the International Standard Organization (ISO) to maintain a standard for the exchanging of information within a network of communications. It basically comprises seven layers of rules that would serve as a standard for the communications networks all over the world. The seven layers attempt to define abstract ideas on these issues. The Reference Model as it is called underlines the various means through which communication takes place. It breaks up all the functions into easily identifiable layers. Layer 1 therefore comprises the actual physical layer of the network that would include wires, plugs and signals that receive and send out communications to the network. Layer 2 is the data layer that transfers the physical bulk of the data from one computer to the other one."

From the Paper
"For example, since 1997, the number of ISP (facilities-based and resellers) in the United States has increased by nearly 40 per cent, points of presence per ISP five fold, Internet hosts quadrupled and Internet traffic six to 10 times; furthermore, there were an estimated 7463 ISP in the spring of 2000, 20 percent of which operated on a national basis. Likewise, suppliers of Internet connectivity (IBP) have expanded their physical presence across the board (Coble-Neal & Madden, 2002). In this setting, companies are seeking innovative ways to make use of the communications infrastructure that is already in place, as well as identifying improved methods for existing applications."

Abstract
This paper explains that VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), also referred to as internet telephony, IP telephony or Voice over the Internet (VOI), is a category of hardware and software that enables people to use the internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls by sending voice data in packets using IP rather than by traditional circuit transmissions of the PSTN. This paper points out that the number of VoIP providers, such as Vonage, is growing steadily; major carriers like AT&T are already setting up VoIP calling plans in several markets in the United States and the FCC is looking seriously at the potential ramifications of VoIP service. The paper relates that there are three different types of VoIP service in common use today: (1) ATA , the simplest and most common way, which is to connect a standard phone to a computer or internet connection for use with VoIP; (2) IP phones, specialized phones, which look like normal phones with a handset, cradle and buttons but, instead of having the standard RJ-11 phone connectors, have an RJ-45 Ethernet connector and (3) computer-to-computer, which is the easiest way to use VoIP and does not even require paying for long-distance calls.

From the Paper
"In a conventional phone conversation, while one are talking; the other party is listening, which means that only half of the connection is in use at any given time. Based on that, we can surmise that we could cut the file in half, down to about 4.7 MB, for efficiency. Plus, a significant amount of the time in most conversations is dead air -- for seconds at a time, neither party is talking. If we could remove these silent intervals, the file would be even smaller. Then, instead of sending a continuous stream of bytes (both silent and noisy), an option was devised of sending just the packets of noisy bytes when one created them, that is formed the basis of a packet-switched phone network, the alternative to circuit switching."

Abstract
The paper precludes that Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is considered to be one of the most important elements in modern telecommunications today. It continues to state that before VoIP is able to attain the degree of acceptance that traditional telephony has, it has to be able to raise its quality of services (QoS) particularly in voice quality, security, interface and its compliance to various standards. The application of the services in information sensitive industries like trade, customer service and education indicates that VoIP has achieved a degree of success in terms of its major issues. The paper concludes that the establishment of minimum standards of performance to ensure the productivity of VoIP services in the industry is essential to advance the VoIP position. Unless the quality of VoIP reaches a quality level suitable as an enterprise product, the demand for VOIP will not be fully realized.
From the Paper
"In 2004, the telecommunications industry saw the launch of mass-market VoIP services that followed the traditional interface models of Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) and by 2005, free services began their entry to the market (Dean, 2003). Among the first one to offer services for free ware Skype which remains to be a significant market leader today. Following the success of Skype other online services began to include VoIP as part of their interface and retooled products as seen in the launch of Microsoft's Window Messenger Live, Yahoo's Yahoo Messenger with Voice and Google's Google Talk among others."

Abstract
'Voice over IP' is a term used in IP telephony for a set of facilities that manages the delivery of voice information using the Internet Protocol (IP). The paper explains that this technology involves sending voice information in digital form in discrete packets rather than in the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public, switched telephone network. The paper discusses the major advantages of VoIP and Internet telephony, including the fact that they avoid the tolls charged by ordinary telephone services.
From the Paper
"Not surprisingly, given the advantage of VoIP, long-distance telephone service providers have taken measures to impede its progress. For example, in 1996, they petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ban phone calls over the Internet even though a regulation-free Internet was the stance of the FCC, That petition was dropped but a similar one resurfaced in the U.S. Congress in 1998. The general argument has been that VoIP should be seen as a telecommunications service rather than as an information service and should therefore be a regulated service."

Abstract
This paper studies the increasing need for video conferencing within the business world today. The paper begins by examining business requirements for this technology and looking at the notion of globalization. The paper then provides a detailed analysis of each of the types of technology, including internet relay chat and internet telephony. The paper concludes with a discussion of the relevance of video conferencing within the modern business setting, including its applicability and limitations.
From the Paper
"Developing globalization and severe competition demonstrate and emphasize the need for alternative methods of communication in the world of today. It is true that, as far as the dynamics of business are concerned, there have not been many changes, but the demand for a less expensive means of communication than face-to-face meetings is what has brought about a varied number of new methods and techniques of communication, some of these being video conferencing including video and text chatting, web conferencing, and web presentations and collaborations. These modern means of communication involve an increased accuracy and also a faster speed and freedom from any unwonted communication mistakes."

Abstract
This paper explains that the music and movie industries are starkly opposed to the use of Kazaa?s technology because it infringes upon copyright laws and decreases the profits made from music and movie sales. The author states that the creators of Kazaa, three Estonian computer programmers, revolutionized the way that peer-to-peer networks work over the Internet and also have created a telephony software program for the Internet known as Skype. The paper relates that the lawsuits in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles against the use of Kazaa are complicated because Kazaa has been deemed legal in Europe where the company resides.

Introduction
The Technology
The Creators of Kazaa
Ethics Regarding the Software
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The music and movie industries argue that what Kazaa allows is not ?sharing? but stealing. For this reason, in October of 2001 both the music and movie industries sued Kazaa. According to ?The race to kill Kazaa? the purpose of these suits were to keep the millions of kazaa users from stealing movies, copyrighted music and software files. The article reports that this task was more difficult than these industries had anticipated. This difficulty existed because unlike other file sharing sited Kazaa does not have a server (it operates on anonymous supernodes) and as a result the industries had nothing to shut down."

Abstract
The Internet has clearly changed the playing field for a wide range of enterprises in the past decade, but one of the fundamental changes that is taking place and that may be going unnoticed by the general public, is the use of the Internet to facilitate telephonic communications. While the majority of advocates of such systems recognize that the benefits to be realized are associated with cost savings rather than improvements in functioning over existing PBX-based systems, the trend is clear that Internet-based telephony is here to stay and will be improved in the years to come. This paper provides the background and an overview of the issues involved, followed by an analysis of PBX versus voice over IP telephone systems. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The benefits of Internet-based telephone systems will likely relate to lower costs rather than improved or enhanced functions. Clearly, the Internet is a natural network for these applications more so than the existing telephone system for a variety of reasons. For instance, packet switching allows these applications to be mixed with others over a common network, and voice can be combined with other modes of communication such as text, video, shared workspace, and so forth. For telephone-like applications, the Internet can deliver the signaling information all the way to the end node, so the telephone features can be implemented at the edge of the network."
