VoIP 101: Voice over IP for Beginners
by Rich McIver
For those who have never heard about the potential of
VoIP, be prepared to radically change the way you think

ordinary analog audio signals and turning them into digital
signals that can be sent over the Internet.
So what? Well, for those of you who are already paying
a monthly fee for an Internet connection, this means that
you can use that same connection to place free long distance
phone calls. This process works by using already available
VoIP software to make phone calls over the Internet, essentially

Analog phones operate on an older and less effective technology.
This technology doesn't scale well and is more costly.
Analog service is not compatible with numerous new features.
Digital phones are lighter and more compact and have a

Why WAP Isn't As Bad As People Say
by Mike Street
It's unlucky that the acronym for Wireless Application
Protocol (WAP) has such an unfortunate rhyme! Even more
unlucky for WAP, it burst onto the mobile communication
scene with lavish promises from the Mobile Operators (you
know who you are) of 'The Internet on your Mobile' and
'Take the Internet with you'.
That really was a load of WAP. [ More
