Hi all, I have a hopefully straightforward question! We have a handful of users on our network who want to use Skype to talk to colleagues back at the office from various international destinations as well as the UK. At what point would it be more economical (financially and bandwidth-wise) to sign up with a SIP provider and build our own VoIP server and set these users up to use our VoIP service rather than Skype? Like all useful technologies, once the cat's out of the bag, other people are going to want to use VoIP as well. I would project about 40 semi-frequent VoIP users after about a year.
For bandwidth, I'm guessing it's going to come down to the codec choices and Skype seem to do pretty well with quality vs bandwidth. They're pretty cheap too -- so, is it worth my efforts building a VoIP box at all? What do you guys think? Thoughts and suggestions welcome! Thanks, David. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Caldwell Network Services Canterbury College New Dover Road Canterbury Kent CT1 3AJ +44(0)1227 81 1271 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
