We're big believers in the future of real-time communications on the Internet. It's only a question of when, not if, all our communications (whether in front of a computer or on the go) are done using Internet-based communications services.
However, old habits die hard. The traditional phone system has been in use for over a century and making the majority of consumers aware of the new alternatives and their benefits is critical to gaining mass adoption. That's why Google decided to join a new industry organization known as the Internet Voice Campaign. The goal of the organization is to raise consumer awareness about VOIP and its benefits.
You can read more about the Internet Voice Campaign on this press release from the Von Coalition. If your organization is involved in Internet communications services, we encourage you to consider joining.
