ReplyDeleteThis is such a great innovation in telecommunication industry. This entirely has an effect in media competition. To the fact that most online individuals are finding their own way of making international calls without spending too much amount for just specific numbers of minutes. I bet network providers should better watch out for the VoIP technology provider in the future, since the number of people who are interested about its benefit is rapidly increasing.
