VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol -- basically, Web-based telephony.As we reported last night, several VoiP apps have been accepted for use on the iPhone, including iCall and Fring.

Skype, one of the most admired VoIP applications, said it had a 3G iPhone app ready to go, but wanted to get a couple of service information squared away.

Skype is waiting for Apple to explain when the new SDK terms of service for iPhone OS 3.2 SDK beta, which were published yesterday, will go into effect for current iPhone users who are still bound under the terms of iPhone OS 3.12 SDK, according to Skype spokesman Chaim Haas.

VoIP over 3G on iPhone still being blocked by Apple

We haven't listen to news about the VoIP over 3G on the iPhone debate that was a pretty hot a few months ago. It appears like users have quieted down on demanding the feature after AT&T promised they would allow such features over their networks.

An Apple-user blog asked the other day why they hadn't seen VoIP over 3G yet and got a reply from Peter Parkes, a social media representative over at Skype.

The Skype over 3G app has been around for some time, but it hasn't gone live on the iPhone since Apple (not AT&T) has not green-lighted the capability on the iPhone. The bloggers go further to speculate that Apple's feature-blocking might mean that they are saving the VoIP over 3G for the subsequent release of the iPhone much like they did with video capabilities that could have easily worked for the original iPhone but were saved for later releases.

Just how popular is VoIP?

According to a latest survey, 61% of respondents indicated they would consider dropping their landline telephone in favor of a VoIP service.

Compare Broadband is an online service to do precisely what it says - compare broadband deals. Visitors to their site are usually presented with a short survey question. When iTWire visited today for instance, the survey linked to browsing habits.

Recently, the site asked a simple question. "Would you think about changing your landline telephone for a broadband VoIP phone service?"

The 1002 replies were made up as follows:

61% Yes
10% No
29% What's VoIP?

Considering the focus of the web site, the high number of 'confused' people is a little surprising, but the most important part is that nearly two thirds of the voters believed they could completely do away with a genuine, Telco-provided, copper-in-the-ground, always-available landline.

Scott Kennedy -Compare Broadband's General Manager observed, "Who would have thought the landline telephone could ever become obsolete? People want value for money, and as we now can make cheaper calls via a broadband connection, clearly the community's interest is rising. Cheaper,faster broadband will inevitably increase the take-up of VoIP services."

It appears that the low cost of VoIP is finally starting to overcome the fear factor of having a more transient telephone service; perhaps also consumers are seeing their mobile as their primary communications device and just want a VoIP service for the satisfaction of having a 'real' phone sitting on their desk.
