Ask the Industry Experts - Why VoIP?
 
The importance of VoIP as a core component of the education of a network engineer or technician cannot be understated.
~Dan McGee, Manager, Global Network Operations, Texas Instruments Inc
 
VoIP is the telephone technology of today and the future.
~David Hoyt, Chief Information Systems Officer, Collin College
