Thottam, Joyti (2004) “The Internet is Calling” TIME, August, 23, 42-43

Do you want to make a long distance call for REAL cheap? Try internet phones. At the moment Vonage is the major supplier adding 1000 customers a day. However, the big telecommunications firms are now entering the market and Vongage may soon disappear.

How do they work? You still need a phone, but it is now attached to a modem that is attached to your computer. You can also get ones with a spy cam and you can see each other.

Phone bills are cut in half. This like cell phones could change the entire telecommunication landscape. At any rate, web phone service is exploding.

Those most attracted to it are those who have friends and relatives overseas.
