Hi.

This may be more of a philosophical question/comment but what is really the point of VOIP ?

1. It still requires an infrastructure of T1 lines to support the call( its Data T1 vs voice T1)

2. The Quality is worse than traditional phone service

3. It seems to have more downtime and network than most traditional service.

Does it really just boil down to bypassing outrageous wasteful government taxes and all the fees associated with the simple act of making a phone call?

Hypothetically, if a phone call was treated from a tax and fee standpoint the same way as transmitting a packet of data. Would there really be a need for VOIP service?


As far as VOIP system for an single office building(not working building), what would be the benefit besides saving on wiring?
