VoIP Revolution at Internet Telephony Conference

VoIP is revolutionizing the way the world communicates and gathered right now at the Internet Telephony Conference in Los Angeles, California VoIP leaders are discussing how to transform the way we think about our existing communication devices and what we pay to use them. Remember when cellular phones first came onto the scene?

Technically, I don’t think most mobile phones qualify as cellular anymore but the point is that so much has changed in such a short period of time that even our language can’t necessarily keep up with the technology. When cell phones 1st came onto the scene I remember hearing people talk about how phone companies were probably shaking in their boots because of the competition but people spend more time on the phone than we ever have.

At the Internet Telephony Conference in Los Angeles the discussions are focused on how best to leverage the tools on the market, remote-communications, software application development and voice recognition.

In fact the keynote address by Microsoft General manager, Xeudong Huang talked about how regular objects like a wall could possibly become an interactive tool. He also talked about how Microsoft is planning to expand their Response Point telephone system into a full blown digital voice solution that will link into the SIP-based VoIP service from such partners as Cbeyond and New Global Telecom.

The Response Point system includes a “magic blue button” which uses speech recognition technology in the IP-PBX system to enable speech recognition call transfers, directory lookups, and even free411.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled to hear more about the awesome developments as a result of the mega conference.
