Is VoIP The Solution To Last Mile Broadband?
Filed in archive General by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on May 27, 2008
I have to admit, this is a pretty ingenious idea to bringing faster Internet access to the masses: take that 4Khz voice channel and turn it into data. That's the suggestion that Brian Boyko over at Network Performance Daily has.
The scheme would turn a typical 4Khz phone line into a pure data line with a speed roughly 4 times the speed of a 56k dialup modem. This isn't broadband by today's standards, but it's better than nothing. And voice calls can be compressed with something like G.729 or G.723, leaving you plenty of room to surf and talk.
What do you think about this scheme? Could it work?
