According to John C. Dvorak of PC Magazine, cheap VoIP services will soon meet their end. In his article, "The Coming Death of Cheap VoIP," he describes how the major phone companies will take over VoIP, rename it "digital voice," and render cheap VoIP service providers obsolete. They will do this by addressing the new E911 service requirements and by making broadband services incompatible with discount VoIP services, such as Skype that offers free computer-to-computer phone calls. I agree with Dvorak in that the large telephone companies have the E911 advantage, but disagree that Skype and other bargain VoIP services will be going away any time soon.
