Buzzing along the Internet highway
Article Abstract:
Networks based on Internet Protocols (IPs) have the potential to greatly improve the efficiency of telecommunications. Indeed, shifting to IPs could dramatically alter the structure of telecommunications as a whole, with businesses and possibly residential customers no longer paying for traditional telephone calls. IPs permit the telecommunications operator to split each call into small packets of data before transmitting them down a fibre-optic cable at high speed. This greatly improves efficiency without negatively affecting quality.
