IP Telephony stands for Internet Protocol Telephony, and it means “voice transmitted over a computer network.” Don’t be fooled by the “Internet” part of the acronym. VoIP will run over any type of network. Currently, in the corporate sector the private dedicated network option is the preferred type. For the telecommuter or home-user, the hands-down favorite is broadband. You can access your account on the VoIP network by a desktop telephone, a wireless IP phone (similar to a cell phone), or the soft screen dial pad of your laptop or desktop computer.
