VOIP technology prospect
June 14th, 2010
Many readers who have a good understanding of the Internet and data communications technology may have little background in transmitting voice or real-time imaging in a packet-switched environment. One of the main sources of confusion for those new to VOIP is the (natural) assumption that because digitized voice travels in packets just like other data, existing network architectures and tools can be used without change for voice transmission. VOIP adds a number of complications to existing network technology, and these problems are compounded by security considerations. Most of this report is focused on how to overcome the complications introduced by security requirements for VOIP.
For several years, VOIP was a technology prospect, something on the horizon for the “future works” segment of telephony and networking papers. Now, however, telecommunications companies and other organizations have already, or are in the process of, moving their telephony infrastructure to their data networks. The VOIP solution provides a cheaper and clearer alternative to traditional PSTN phone lines. Although its implementation is widespread, the technology is still developing such like small business VoIP. It is growing rapidly throughout North America and Europe, but it is sometimes awkwardly implemented on most legacy networks, and often lacks compatibility and continuity with existing systems. Nevertheless, VOIP will capture a significant portion of the telephony market, given the fiscal savings and flexibility that it can provide.

Internet, data growth push up profit at TW Telecom
February 9th, 2010
Strong growth in Internet and data sales pushed revenue and profits higher at Colorado’s TW Telecom Inc. for the fourth quarter and entire year of 2009.
The results, reported Monday, beat Wall Street expectations for profits and matched what was expected for sales.
The Douglas County-based business telecom (NASDAQ: TWTC) reported fourth-quarter earnings of $11.1 million, or 7 cents per share, on revenue of $307.9 million. That compares to fourth-quarter 2008 earnings of $899,000, or 1 cent per share, on revenue of $294.6 million.
For the whole of 2009, TW Telecom reported earning $27.6 million, or 19 cents per share, on revenue slightly above $1.2 billion. In 2008, it posted a loss of $7.3 million, or 5 cents per share, on revenue just under $1.2 billion.
TW Telecom had been expected to report 6 cents-per-share earnings for the fourth quarter and 16 cents per share for all of 2009, according to an average of 18 Wall Street analysts estimates by Yahoo Finance.
“In 2010, we plan to further invest in growth initiatives including equipping our networks with new capabilities, launching new products and services, and implementing tools to better serve enterprise customers,” CEO and President Larissa Herda said in a written statement. “All of these initiatives are focused on capturing greater market share and driving revenue growth.”
