Voice over Internet Protocol. First was the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell had a vision. He saw people communicating over long distances with their own voice, not trough beeps and squeaks. Then came the Internet. A few students and the US military had a vision, somewhat similar to Bells. They saw people communicating over long distances, but this time in writing. And it was from two visions combined that the future of communications was born Voice over IP. This type of communication uses internet data flux to transmit compressed information from a PC to another or from a VoIP receiver to another.
