Taipei aims for mega VoIP network for mobile services
The city government of Taipei is hoping to have as many as 200,000 citizens making telephone calls using VoIP over citywide Wi-Fi network by the end of this year.
The city has got 10 companies working for their project named “Taipei Easy Call” and they plan to roll out Internet-based mobile phones in the near future.
The government plans to expand this project to other cities if the tests in Taipei prove to be successful. This project is pretty important consider it is the first of its kind to involve an Internet telephony system that uses an entire city.
The government in Taipei plans to equip hundreds of public middle and elementary schools in the city with VoIP systems to save money from calls made using the traditional telephony services.
Market analysts on their part believe that it would still take a couple of years before VoIP threatens the regular telephony networks around the world. Until then, internet would continue to dominate data transfer based networks.
