Things never stay the same, what we see today would be different the coming day. Similar is the case with AT&T. Back then, it had dominated the phone service completely. People were bound to use AT&T’s service no matter what; rather it was compulsory to have a phone from the company. People could not even buy a phone of their own choice from anywhere but they were limited to have it from them on rent.

The time changed and the AT&T monopoly shattered. Then different companies emerged and the competition among them heated up, as happens in an open market. In the market the mergers and takeovers took place between different vendors and at last SBC Communication took over the diminished AT&T. so again the name AT&T emerged in the market, but not with previous power.

Now consumers had a number of options to choose from when they had to opt for Phone service provider. As the basic economic concept of demand and supply prevails in every market, more vendors resulted in higher competition, eventually shrinking the profits in this business and reduced prices for customers. But then the fancy marketers introduced so many packages and services that one could not interpret at all whether what he was actually going to pay unless the huge bill appears at the end of month. Undue invoice for additional services and hidden charges really annoyed people. In this scenario cellular phone came in as inexpensive communication method with flat monthly payments. Even in it witty marketers introduced contract plans, where a consumer could not switch his service for a specific period of time and was bound to stay with a service provider despite being treated unfairly in terms of hidden charges in packages offered. Anyhow cell phone is better than complex landline service providers as far as billing is concerned, but in cell phones call dropping and poor voice quality is another issue.

When everything is not satisfactory then what is the option? There is an option, Internet Phone. Internet phone makes use of Broadband internet as a median to transmit data among people on call.
