With new technology coming out like Cell phones with web access with faster access speeds than a dial up modem, and VOIP (voice over IP), what’s to come of telephone companies? You may say well they have DSL to fall back on, but not all local phone companies have DSL plans. VOIP has brought about new options when it comes to calling plans, there are no more local long distant calling charges and no more clock watching. So what’s to happen with these companies? Are we witness to the extinction of the telephone as we know it? AT&T and other big companies have turned there attention to cellular and VOIP leaving the local companies hit rock bottom. I personally think that big companies like AT&T will put a price tag on every feature they can once they get there hands on VOIP. Like any good technology, when large corporations get greedy you the customer get screwed.

If you are interested in using VOIP, look into Skype a free VOIP service.
