What is VoIP? Voice over IP?
I had no idea beyond what I've been seeing on commercials, so I went in search of brain-food.
VOIP is fast-growing technology where people can use the internet to make phone calls instead of the usual telephone lines. A UK site called Cisco has several pages that helps explain it all.
If you have a business and are looking into unified communications solutions, you may want to take a look at their Top Myths page.
These stats from their site:

• In a 2005 Sage Research study, 86% of companies using unified communications reported that productivity benefits have grown.
• More than 60% reported savings of three or more hours per week for each mobile worker.
  

Businesses can collaborate in real-time.
