Dialing the future at Dartmouth

Dialing the future at Dartmouth : "Now, the college is venturing into the world of "voice over Internet protocol," also known as VoIP, which essentially turns a computer into a telephone...The introduction of voice over Internet protocol is closely coupled with Dartmouth's recent decision to stop charging students, faculty and staff for long-distance phone calls...In a year or so, Levine said, the college will offer a similar service with video. "It all ultimately relates back to this idea of convergence where anything you see or hear can be digitized""
