What about video over IP? - Feedback - Letter to the Editor

Communications News, June, 2003 by Edwin W. Smith

A minor point (about Lenny Liebmann's April column, "Six secrets of VoIP testing"), but just wanted to point out that VoIP can also mean video over IP. The word "voice" only appears in the paragraph under Lesson 2 and nowhere else. I almost thought it applied (which it actually does in part) to a large H.320 to H.323 video over IP migration project a colleague of mine is involved in. You're not the only one. I wish writers and editors wouldn't automatically assume that VoIP means voice when it can just as easily mean video, especially with the convergence of services.
