*VOIP and WiFi phones The newest frontier area of VOIP appears to be determining how it will go mobile. Some cellular companies are experimenting with dual-band cellular/wifi phones that will work in wifi hotspots part of the time, and use cellular service when wifi is not available (Sprint/Nextel is working on a solution; T-mobile is experimenting with the service in only the Seattle market—see article link below.) Other companies are focusing on hardware devices to convert existing cell phones to be wifi-compatible, and vice versa.
It’s a wide-open area right now, as new technologies will compete to try to give the consumer the most practical, easiest-to-use solution.
The most promising thing about the whole idea of voip going mobile is that it can help make VOIP services something that consumer are more likely to think of as just another phone service, and not as a scary-new-hi-tech adventure to be avoided.
