Interesting in VOIP is gathering speed.

VoIP heading for mainstream
By Emma Woollacott, Techworld

Voice over IP (VoIP) will take off this year, according to a new survey, with 54 per cent of respondents believing there are more advantages than barriers to its adoption.

The survey of 3,000 UK enterprise IT managers, carried out by Vanson Bourne on behalf of storage, voice and networking distributor Zycko, found that 57 per cent of financial services companies stated that voice and data convergence, rather than cost cutting, was the most important reason for companies to rethink their voice and data strategy in 2006.
More than half of IT managers across all industry sectors said they would consider reviewing existing systems in order to move to a converged voice and data solution this year. Nearly three-quarters said they would be prompted to review their systems to cut costs.
