After a decade of promises about how it would forever change communications, Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, is finally beginning to nudge the 130-year-old traditional phone network toward obsolescence.
When I lived in the city, the only reason I maintained a land line was because my home security system required one. Now that I'm back in the country, I have only a cell phone. Might some home security company find a way to offer remote monitoring using VOIP? Any ideas about what technologies would be required to make this possible?
