Here come the headsets

Article Abstract:

A number of companies providing Internet telephony or computer-telephone integration services are growing. Internet telephony is the newest innovation in the telecommunications industry which is more sophisticated and slightly expensive than a traditional phone call. The system uses an integrated NetManage or Conference module that connects to the Internet and requires only an additional sound card and headset. Companies providing such services include Israel-based VocalTec, IDT and Delta Three.

The business-to-business market is a challenging area that is still in development and meeting a great deal of skepticism.
