Since the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) finalised the SIP protocol in late 2000 - OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and network solutions vendors have been developing the IP telephony products that handle audio compression and routing functions for Voice Over the Internet Protocol (VoIP)

2005 was the first time we started to see mature products competing for the same business - and driving down the price point to levels for broad uptake and mass appeal in the marketplace.

Australian media commentary and coverage of the adoption of VoIP services by home users and big business started to appeared almost weekly - further stimulating interest in the benefits derived from new the new technology platforms.

The timing and the rise of VoIP Telephony, may only be loosely connected to the Howard/Liberal government's sale of Telstra legislation passing through parliament. Strategically however - any shareholder in a dominant telephone company relying on diminishing returns should be wary of holding the investment as there is no doubt VoIP undermines the traditional revenue model of telephone service providers like Telstra.

Example: I grew up in central Victoria. calling Melbourne - or any other capital city in Australia was (and at the time of writing this 24th Oct 2005 - still is) classed by the phone company Telstra (formerly "Telecom") as outside the area - and called "STD" - and let me tell you parents got real mad at us kids if we spent hours talking to our girlfriends on "STD" calls.

The reality was - that even though the city was just a 2 hour drive away - false limits were put in our ability to communicate with people down there. The high cost of communication was a barrier to communication. In the post 2005 Australian landscape - with VoIP services rapidly gaining "TV" like commonality - this paradigm of communication being expensive - will inevitably shift to one of communication being virtually free...
