I appreciate your concern guys - but this is not the same technology as Intel's. No modem or computer is utilized for the transmission of phone calls. With I-Link's patent-pending technology the analouge signal is converted to some kind of digital mode. Normally, the pricey step with transmitting analouge signals is the cost of sending the signals through the switch. Something like 4 analouge signals can be sent through a switch at one time currently by the major carriers. With this new technology, once the signal is coverted to digital, literally thousands of signals can be sent through at a given instance. This saves zillions of dollars and lowers the cost of the call way, way down. Being digital, the quality of the signal is improved as well, where Intel's thing is very crude in terms of quality. Check out Webphone, cool thing to mess around with for awhile, but lousy quality and cumbersome processing of service makes it unlikely that it will become a household name. Besides, you can't even use that particular technology unless you have a computer. I-Link's technology is somehow associated with Internet protocol, yet no computer is neccessary and it is 1-Plus dialing.
