Traditional VoIP phone services, such as Skype or Vonage, are typically delivered through a personal computer and LAN and are gaining worldwide acceptance – especially as a replacement for expensive international calling. Mobile VoIP represents the logical next step for this technology – shifting calls and functionality from wired handsets and PCs, to the mobile phone platform. Given the exploding popularity of mobile communications and the associated high-cost of international mobile calls, mVoIP is poised for rapid adoption by operators and subscribers alike—Stockholm, Sweden
