A Cellular Tale

There once was a group of gadgets called cell phones. Cell phones were such great gadgets because you could talk to anyone, anywhere no matter where you went! Some cell phones helped people organize themselves, make to-do lists, calculate math to balance nasty check books, and even play games! Over the years technology grew and grew and quicker than you can say VoIP.....

....there once was a technology named VoIP who used the Internet to turn PC's into little telephone switches. VoIP helped many people talk for as long as they wanted with any person in the world because people didn't need to maintain or spend extra money for a seperate line to make telephone calls. VoIP made it easier to reach out and touch someone.

There once was another technology named WiFi. WiFi was associated with freedom because WiFi allowed people to connect to the Internet from a couch in their home, a bed in a hotel, or at a table in Starbucks. WiFi loved radio waves because these made wireless networking easier and more convenient. Where there is a base station, there is WiFi.

One day, WiFi and VoIP thought about getting together and changing thier name to VoWiFi, but the cellular phone was very upset. When VoIP and WiFi got together, they made cell phones feel old-fashioned - VoIP and WiFi made it easier for people to use other nifty gadgets like PDAs, laptops, or super-cool, specially designed phones to make VoIP calls at any WiFi hotspot for free. Businesses, organizations, or people who just liked to talk could take advantage of fewer communications costs while having a mobile system that offered more indoor coverage and better voice quality.

And so VoIP and WiFi turned to VoWiFi, but people are still buying cellular phones and the cellular phone makers don't feel too threatened yet - afterall, roaming access and security are still an issue.

The End.
