Is VoIP Spam Coming?

Experts disagree but a Frost and Sullivan report indicates that Voice Spam is more a when than an if.

Years back ARAVOX was building a SIP firewall, as their inventors saw the pitfalls of VoIP and SIP. Companies like Dynamicsoft will be the ones to watch in this space as they understand SIP very well at the stack level.

Still, while Vonage’s Louis Holder thinks the problem is not as easy as it appears, there is a need for concern. This is one example where companies like AT&T, MCI, Sprint, Verizon and Level3 have the advantage over smaller companies like Vonage, VoicePulse and others using their own hardware and network management tools. The big guys have years of experience detecting and preventing network intrusion.

Buyers at the enterprise level need to take that under serious consideration when buying VoIP.
