VoIP 'a highly reliable service'

Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) is a "highly reliable service" that has been able to expand into traditional areas of telecommunications, one expert has stated.

Diane Myers, directing analyst for VoIP and internet protocol multimedia subsystems at Infonetics Research, utters that the technology has matured and become increasingly reliable, particularly in the medium of fixed-line communications.

Additionally, she explains that VoIP has successfully managed to pierce the mobile phone market.

"The mobile side of VoIP is really just beginning to blossom and, while it is far from mainstream, it is certainly growing in options and innovative offerings," she says.

In France, VoIP operators have even facilitated the technology to become available to residential customers as part of their telecommunications package, Ms Myers continues.

Consumers can also keep away from costly roaming charges by adopting VoIP to make international calls - for example, roaming rates in the US for UK carriers are at present set at an average of £0.94 per minute for receiving calls and £1.17 for making them.

iCall, a free voice over internet telephone service that has earned rave reviews for its applications on Apple iPhone and PC has now finally been given access by Apple Inc .to be used in conjunction with the 3G networks such as that of AT&T. This one of a kind application is compatible with both iPod Touch devices and iphone and with the new protocols in effect, users will now be able to make free calls in the United States and Canada through their iPhone and ipod device over the 3G networks.

Until now, Apple had imposed stringent restrictions on VoIP applications, that barred them from using the 3G networks. But in a latest update to the iPhone SDK (software development kit), it has released VoIP protocols. iCall has been one of the very few VoIP applications that were permitted to a place in the Apple Apps Store and now that the restriction are done with, the users will now be able to take complete benefit of the features of iCall.

The idea of using VoIP technology over the 3G networks has been one of the most debatable topics in the online community and as Google was denied access to the platform, the immense usefulness of this technology and its necessity became crystal clear.

O2: Yes, we’re acquiring Jajah Internet phone company

O2, the mobile phone separation of Spanish telecommunication company Telefónica, confirmed today that it’s acquiring Israel-based Internet voip phone company Jajah for 145 million euros (that’s $207 million).

The move reflects the rising interest in VoIP technology on the part of the large telecom and tech companies. In November, Israeli financial news site and TechCrunch. TheMarker reported that O2 was requesting for Jajah against Microsoft and Cisco, and it reported this weekend that O2 had won the bidding war. (At the same time, an O2 press representative told us the reports were “entirely speculation.”)

Telefónica is not the only telecom company interested in VoIP startups. Last year, BT acquired Ribbit, which dubbed itself “Silicon Valley’s first voip phone company.”
Jajah says it has approximately 15 million subscribers. It has launched at DEMO, the technology conference co-produced by VentureBeat, and raised $35 million from Sequoia Capital, Deutsche Telekom, Intel Capital, and others.
