AT&T is riding atop a communications tidal wave called Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). VoIP is the most significant, fundamental new technology shift in telecommunications in decades and has the potential to deliver tremendous value to customers by leveraging the efficiencies and advanced communications capabilities of IPbased technology. AT&T is putting this technology to use with CallVantage VoIP phone service.
IP is the future for the communications industry and AT&T is moving aggressively toward a single, global IP network because it offers a variety of benefits, such as enhanced capabilities and services for customers, as well as simplification and better cost-performance for AT&T.
